HOW IT HAPPENED

It took 14 ties before the Ducks claimed the opening set, 33-31, behind 13 points from Clemente (11k, 2sa). The Trojans hit .381 with 21 kills (5e) on 42 swings and were led by a seven-kill performance from Wijay who also had three digs. Tvrdy racked five kills and Ford had four in the first-set effort. USC led by as many as four at 12-8 and had a three-point lead at 21-18 before the fourth tie of the frame came at 21-all. The Ducks had set point five times before USC claimed set point thrice. Oregon made good on its sixth set point on back-to-back kills from Vaulet for the win.
Not to be outdone, set two put the teams through 18 ties before the Trojans equalized with a 28-26 win. USC hit just .086 with 12 kills and nine errors on 35 attempts but served three aces and had two blocks to make up the difference. The Trojans led by two early, 7-5, but Oregon had the largest lead of the frame at 21-17. Ford went quick and Wijay scored on a tip to make it 22-all as part of a 3-0 run that put USC in front, 23-22. The Ducks had set point at 24-23, but USC wiped it out and went in front three times before closing out the win on a kill from Tvrdy.
The Trojans fell behind by five early in the third but fought back to claim a 17-16 lead with a 3-0 run on back-to-back Mullen kills and an ace from Trubint. The teams traded 3-0 runs late in the frame, one of which put the Ducks on top, 23-21. USC responded with a kill from Tvrdy, an ace from Dani Thomas-Nathan, and took an Oregon error to lead, 24-23. The Ducks saved one set point, but Ford scored a kill and a block to close out a 28-26 win for a 2-1 Trojan lead in the match.
In the only set without a tie, the Trojans prevailed, 25-19, to close out the four-set victory. USC put up a balanced attack as Faumuina and Mullen each scored three kills; and Wijay and Tvrdy each added two.
