LOS ANGELES – Oregon gutted out its second straight five-set win over USC to sweep the weekend in L.A. against the Trojans with a 22-25, 25-20, 25-18, 23-25, 15-8 win Sunday in the Galen Center. The Ducks won their third straight to improve to 4-2 on the year, their longest winning streak since the 2018 season.
How It Happened: The Ducks trailed 4-1 early in set five, but took advantage of some USC miscues to tie things up at five. Gloria Mutiri and Brooke Nuneviller delivered kills on consecutive points to give Oregon a slight edge at 7-5 before Mutiri caught fire with two more kills and a block to ignite a 8-2 run to close out a 15-8 fifth-set win.
