PORTLAND, Ore. --- The Portland Pilots beach volleyball team will open their 2017 season this weekend with two matches against the Oregon Ducks at Chemeketa Community College in Salem, Ore.
"We are excited for the opportunity to compete this year against some of the top teams in the nation," said head coach Jeff Baxter. "The returners have made significant improvements since last season and we are expecting big contributions from our newcomers."
Oregon, only in their third season, has compiled an all-time record of 7-24. Last year the Ducks finished their 2016 season with a 2-10 record, with one of their wins coming against the Pilots in the final day of their home tournament.
