Young Talent Will Be On Display As Volleyball Opens Play Friday

When it comes to experience levels for the Oregon volleyball team entering 2019, it's all or nothing.

Opening serve for the Ducks' fall season will be Friday, when the No. 11 UO volleyball team hosts UC Irvine in Matthew Knight Arena. Looking to build on an Elite Eight run last season, Oregon fields a roster led by three veterans who earned all-America honors last season, led by senior middle blocker Ronika Stone.

Stone earned first-team preseason all-Pac-12 honors along with senior hitter Willow Johnson and sophomore Brooke Nuneviller. That Ducks also return senior Taylor Borup, though she's still recovering from offseason ankle surgery.
