COLLEGE VOLLEYBALL Bettendorf leads Ducks into final 16 Comment MailTribune.com Writer Posted Dec. 5, 2014 at 8:05 PM Posted Dec. 5, 2014 at 8:05 PM » Social News EUGENE — The Oregon volleyball team secured a spot in the sweet sixteen of the NCAA tournament with a four-set win against LSU Friday, 25-22, 21-25, 25-20, 25-20. The Ducks (23-9) surged to a sizeable lead midway through the first set, but had to fight off an LSU run which came as close as 21-19, before moving on to a 25-22 win. LSU came out swinging in the second set behind the formidable middle blocker, Brianna Holman. Holman recorded eight kills during the second set as the Tigers evened the set at 1-1, but Oregon bounced back, using a 7-3 run in the third set to go up 21-15 before eventually winning, 25-20. Oregon took an early lead in the fourth set and held on for the victory. Martenne Bettendorf paced the Ducks offensively, finishing with 18 kills and hitting at .311. Defensively, the Ducks outblocked their opponent for the second straight match, but it was Amanda Benson’s 27 digs which resulted in numerous Oregon points. Benson finished the weekend averaging 5.71 digs per set. Oregon now advances to the NCAA regionals for the second time in three years and will face the winner of No. 7-seeded North Carolina and USC. Those two teams will play in Chapel Hill, N.C., today.
