It wasn’t the kind of mismatch that Arizona football faced against the Oregon Ducks on Saturday night, but Wildcats volleyball was certainly the underdog against the Ducks on Sunday morning. Even with a full roster available, they would have been.
Unlike their gridiron counterparts, volleyball was not able to go against the odds and pull off the win. The four-set affair was close for three sets, but ended in a 25-22, 25-22, 22-25, 25-17 win for Oregon.
The Wildcats came into the match with an RPI of 37 compared to the Ducks at No. 23. They were ranked 23 in the AVCA poll, while the Ducks sat at 16.
