EUGENE, Ore. — With its back to the wall, the University of Colorado volleyball team dug deep to overcome a 2-0 deficit to upset No. 22 Oregon 3-2 (20-25, 22-25, 27-25, 25-23, 15-12) on Friday night at Matthew Knight Arena.
The win is CU’s first ever in Eugene and snaps an eight-match losing streak to the Ducks (7-5, 1-2 Pac-12). Prior to tonight’s win, CU had only beaten UO twice, with both wins coming in Boulder.
The Buffs (9-6, 1-2 Pac-12) posted a season-high 18.0 blocks and were led by sophomore Anna Pfefferle’s nine block assists, one shy of her season-best (10).
