Saturday brought two matches for the Oregon Ducks. A morning match with Central Arkansas, where Liz Brenner led the charge with ten kills and ten digs and the Ducks hit over .300 for the match and over .400 in the first set en route to a 3-0 sweep to start the day. The second game was more of a challenge as Illinois State took Oregon to a five set early season fight. During the game the team lost their first set of the year, but rebounded for the victory and are now 3-0 on the season entering a road trip next weekend in Hawaii to take on the Rainbow Warriors, St Johns and New Mexico.
