One, two, three.
It was just that easy for the Ducks on Friday night as they swept Oregon State 3-0 to cap off their 2011 campaign.
Oregon was paced offensively by Alaina Bergsma with 12 kills and three aces. Also in double digits was Katherine Fischer, who added 11 kills of her own.
The Ducks never trailed in the first set, which they won 25-22. Oregon took control of the set halfway through on a 7-2 run that put the Ducks in the driver’s seat.
The second set played out in a similar fashion, with the Ducks going on an 8-2 run in the middle of the set and eventually winning 25-16.
Oregon made quick work of the Beavers in the third set, winning 25-17 and never trailing. The set was tied only once, at one, and the Ducks led the final frame by as many as 11 points.
Oregon now awaits its NCAA tournament fate, and in a season that saw the Ducks beat two different number one teams in Penn State and UCLA, they like their chances.
The NCAA selection show is this Sunday, and while the Ducks are all but guaranteed a tournament berth, they hope to host a first round game.
Head Coach Jim Moore said that the fact the Ducks won in straight sets on Friday was important for the Ducks chances to host a game.
“I think the chances are good,” he said.
