Oregon acrobatics and tumbling (5-2) is heading to the postseason.
The Ducks officially earned the No. 2 seed in the 2026 NCATA Championships, the NCATA announced Monday. They’ll match up with No. 7 Gannon University in the quarterfinal round, with the winner advancing to face the winner of No. 3 Quinnipiac University vs. No. 6 Iona University. Azusa Pacific University is hosting the Championships, set between April 23-26.
Head coach Taylor Susnara’s program ranked second in every released poll this season, including the preseason NCATA coaches’ poll and the three prior sets of national rankings. Baylor University was No. 1 in every poll, and dealt the Ducks their two losses in a pair of regular-season matchups. Oregon faced Gannon earlier this season in its second-highest scoring meet of the season at Matthew Knight Arena on March 6.
In 2025, the Ducks took the same seed into the postseason and earned quarterfinal and semifinal wins over the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor and Quinnipiac before losing out to No. 1 Baylor in the final.
Oregon’s matchup with Gannon is scheduled for April 23 at 1:30 p.m. PT. The meet will be streamed on ESPN+.
