0 – The number of seniors Oregon has on its roster. Last season, Heather Meyers was the only upperclassman in the Ducks’ playing rotation.
1 – The number of sets the Ducks have lost in their last 11 games. Since losing to Minnesota in late August, Oregon has won nine of its 10 games by sweep.
2 – Years in a row that freshman Liz Brenner won Oregon’s prep volleyball player of the year award. Brenner has been one of the Ducks’ top players this year; she’s fourth on the team in kills and is hitting .340.
6 – The number of Pac-12 teams ranked in the top 15 in the latest American Volleyball Coaches Association poll. Oregon, however, is the only Pac-12 squad to be undefeated in conference play.
10 – Games in a row the Ducks have won, including four in a row in Pac-12 play. Last season Oregon won its first 14 games before hitting the meat of its conference schedule.
15 – Oregon’s national ranking in the latest poll, for the second straight week. It’s the highest ranking the Ducks have achieved since last October.
149 – The team-leading dig total for junior Haley Jacob. Jacob has played a big role in the success of Oregon’s defense, which has limited opponents to a .152 hitting percentage this year.
194.5 – Total points for Alaina Bergsma, Oregon’s leading scorer. Bergsma, whose playing time was limited last season as she recovered from a hip injury, has emerged as one of the Ducks’ primary offensive weapons this year.
325 – The announced attendance for Oregon’s 3-0 win over Liberty on Aug. 30 in the Ducks’ first-ever game at Matthew Knight Arena. With school now in session, that number should rise considerably as the Pac-12 season hits full swing.
3,710 – The announced attendance for Oregon’s season-opening win over then-No. 1 Penn State. With temperatures hovering north of 90 degrees and a hostile home crowd, the Ducks’ win was even that more surprising.
