It was bound to happen, and tonight’s match against the Vikings was a likely candidate for it: The Ducks finally lost a set. In five matches they hadn’t but in the second set tonight, lost 25-22. Things could be worse for the Ducks, as there are still another three sets to go in the match, but Portland State is playing extremely well. Outside hitter Whitney Phillips has 14 kills for PSU to lead all scorers.
For UO, Neticia Enesi and Sonja Newcombe both have six kills and Heather Meyers has five. In the set, PSU jumped up 19-13, and although the Ducks made a furious comeback to get it with one at 23-22, PSU scored the last two points on blocks to win. Set three is set to start momentarily.
