Oregon Ducks volleyball lost their third consecutive road match at USC, in four sets, 21-25, 25-23, 22-25, 19-25.
Again, Hannah Pukis was not to be seen. Also, while standout freshman Colby Neal was in uniform and on the sideline, she never entered the game.
Elise Ferreira, filling in for setter Hannah Pukis, has settled in to her role as the backup setter. I did not see the kinds of setting errors from Ferriera that I saw last weekend. Her play was outstanding. The Ducks lost on this night because of being not as sharp defensively as they have in previous games, and having no answer for USC’s star player, Skylar Fields.
