STANFORD, Calif. – The No. 18 Oregon volleyball team picked up a huge win on Friday night to open the Big Ten/Pac-12 Challenge, putting together a complete team effort to knock off No. 1 Minnesota in four thrilling sets, 25-23, 25-23, 25-27, 25-23, in Maples Pavilion.
The Ducks (5-2) hit .298 as a team and outperformed the top-ranked Gophers (5-1) in nearly every statistical category to record the program's first win over a No. 1 ranked team since Oregon defeated Penn State in the 2012 Final Four.
How it Happened: Ulmer had been seeking more consistent scoring out of Oregon's left-side hitters entering the weekend, and seniors Lauren Page and Lindsey Vander Weide stepped up to the challenge from the get-go.
