Trailing 19-17, Oregon capitalized off of four Irish errors to go on a 6-0 run and retake the lead, 23-19. Lewis scored a kill on the final point to secure the set for Oregon.
The third set was dominated by the Ducks as they never trailed and scored nine of the last 12 points to secure their spot in the Sweet Sixteen.
Brooke Nuneviller recorded her 16th double-double for the Ducks with 11 kills and 21 digs. Becca Morse served three aces. She’s the 10th Duck to have at least three in a NCAA Tournament match.
