Last Time Out
The Ducks swept their way past Colorado (25-23, 25-17, 25-22) at Matthew Knight, a result that doubled as the 100th-career victory for head coach Matt Ulmer. Aided by eight service aces, tying a season high, and nine total team blocks, UO limited the Buffs to a .149 hitting percentage. The offense hit .344 in the close-out set for Oregon's fifth-consecutive win in the series.
Rankings Roundup
On the heels of a 2-0 home weekend, Oregon moved up two spots to No. 18 in the Oct. 24 AVCA poll. Additionally, the Ducks are up to 14th in the latest NCAA RPI release.
100 and Counting...
Now in his sixth season as head coach, Matt Ulmer is 100-62 after the Ducks' straight-set win over Colorado (Oct. 23). That record is good for a .617 winning percentage. The win doubled as his 62nd against a Pac-12 opponent and 55th at Matthew Knight Arena.
Another Milestone
With her final kills against Colorado (Oct. 23), Brooke Nuneviller reached 1,500 career points. She had 13 kills, an ace and a block assist in the match. She surpassed 1,300 career kills against Utah (Oct. 21). She heads into Friday's match with career marks of 1,316 kills (10th in Oregon history), 120 aces (seventh at UO) and 64 total blocks (16 solo, 96 block assists).
Starts with a Serve
The Ducks matched their season high with eight service aces in a straight-set win over Colorado (Oct. 23). They also tallied eight aces this season against Penn State (Sept. 10) and Miami (Sept. 18). Mimi Colyer, Elise Ferreira and Georgia Murphy each had two aces to go along with one each for Brooke Nuneviller and Daley McClellan. The Ducks have five or more aces in 14 matches this season.
Stat Pack
For the 10th time this season, the Ducks hit .300 or higher in a match with their .305 outing against Utah (Oct. 21). Six of the 10 have come during Pac-12 play. Oregon carries a .290 hitting percentage into the weekend, good for second in the league and eighth in the NCAA.
Three of a Kind
For the ninth time this season and fourth-straight match, the Ducks had three players with 10 or more kills in their Oct. 21 four-set win over Utah. Mimi Colyer had a team-high 18 kills, and Brooke Nuneviller and Gloria Mutiri added 15 and 14 kills, respectively. Oregon is 6-3 in the eight matches.
Under Lock and Ki(ari)
Sophomore Kiari Robey has committed just one attack error in the Ducks' last four matches, and none over the last three matches. Robey is hitting .592 (30-1-49) during the four-match stretch with at least six kills in each outing including a career-high 10 kills against UCLA (Oct. 16).
Series Info vs Arizona
The Ducks carry a slim 6-4 advantage in the last 10 meetings with Arizona but have won the last four, all in straight sets. In the first meeting this season, Oregon hit .368 with Brooke Nuneviller and Mimi Colyer combining for 29 of the team's 44 kills in the sweep. The Ducks' four-match winning streak ties the program's longest in the UO-UA series.
