ABOUT OREGON
Utah and Oregon have met twice in the series history with both meetings coming in the opening match of the Pac-12 Championships in the past two seasons. Utah won the first meeting 3-2, while downing the Ducks 4-1 last season. Both Utah and Oregon have been the No. 8 and No. 9-seeded teams, respectively, for the last three conference tournaments.
Â
The Ducks are 4-9-1 on the season with two wins over Portland, along with wins against Concordia University and Pacific. Oregon's No. 1 duo of sophomore Brooke Nuneviller and senior Lindsey Vander Weide have a 7-4 record, which is the team's only winning record at any position.
Â
EASY AS 1-2-3
Utah's top two duo's of Dani Drews/Tawnee Luafalemana and Kenzie Koerber/Megan Yett have played every match together, while Utah's No. 3 pair of Lauren Sproule/Jessica Villela have been partners in all but the opening match of the season.
Â
Drews/Luafalemana and Koerber/Yett have each posted six pair wins on the season and Sproule/Villela have recorded five wins this year. The six and five pair victories mark the second and third most pair victories in a single season, only coming behind Drews and former partner Adora Anae's mark of 10 victories last year.
Â
LAST TIME OUT
Utah hosted its first ever home tournament to close out the regular season, welcoming Boise State and Colorado Mesa to Ute Beach. The Utes opened the event recording a win against Colorado Mesa in a thriller. Utah played from behind in the dual, but evened the score 2-2 with wins from the No. 1's and No. 3's. Koerber/Yett fell in the first set, but bounced back in the second to go to a third set with the dual on the line. Koerber/Yett came out on top in a close third set to win the dual for Utah.
Â
The Utes then faced Boise State to close out the Utah Beach Classic and fell to the Broncos, 1-4. Utah's No. 1 pair of Drews/Luafalemana picked up the sole pair win in the dual to close out their day of competition and go undefeated at the home event.
