No. 2 Oregon acrobatics and tumbling (5-2) locked in its seeding and matchup for the 2025 NCATA Championships on April 13. The Ducks — who lost twice this year to top-ranked Baylor but were otherwise unassailable — will face No. 7 Mary Hardin-Baylor in the quarterfinal round.
The Ducks faced the Cru (the 2025 Division III champion) earlier this season at Matthew Knight Arena — a comprehensive victory on Oregon’s senior night finished 275.180-256.005 in the Ducks’ favor. Mary-Hardin Baylor finished the season 7-3, but without a current top-eight win. It’s the same matchup it had in the quarterfinal round last year, where the Ducks advanced.
Oregon did not qualify for any individual event championships — the Ducks have 56 titles in their history, but will go without any this season. It rose from fourth in the preseason coaches’ poll to second overall, and can not faceNo. 1 Baylor until the championship round.
Their quarterfinal matchup with the Cru is set for April 24, at 11:30 AM Pacific Time in Sioux Falls, SD.
