After finishing the regular season 26-5 and 16-4 in the final Pac-12 season, Oregon volleyball will head into the postseason as the No. 2 seed, facing Southeastern Louisiana at home as the Ducks host the first two rounds of the NCAA tournament.
The Ducks finished second in the Pac-12 conference, just three losses behind Stanford — who automatically clinched its bid into the tournament as a No. 1 — and stayed at No. 6 in the AVCA poll in the last week of the regular season.
Last year, Oregon was knocked out of the tournament by then-ranked No. 1 Louisville in five sets in the Elite Eight to end the team’s 16-game win streak.
This is the Ducks’ 28th total NCAA tournament appearance and the fifth time under head coach Matt Ulmer.
All matches will be available on ESPN+ and the National Championship game will be played on ABC. Time and dates of Oregon’s matches are TBA.
