Ducks faced perhaps one of their
toughest challenges — No. 8 USC.
Oregon came in a bit shell
shocked after the UCLA match,
Nelson said, and USC took ad
vantage downing the Ducks 15-2,
15-6,15-7.
Despite 15 kills by Ernst and a
team attack percentage of .206,
the unseasoned Oregon team
could not compete with the high
caliber play of USC, which fin
ished with a .431 attack percent
age. Seven of USC’s eight players
finished the match .300 or better.
“I think battling inexperience is
part of it,” Nelson said. "At one
point in this match I looked out
there, and the only person on the
floor that had played last year was
Madeline. We have some interest
ing line-ups out there with a lot of
people who haven’t played at this
level.”
While Oregon gets steady out
put from players like Ernst and
White, Nelson said the Ducks
need to come together as a whole
to accomplish the goals they have
set. They now have experience
playing a top team away from
Mac Court and realize the caliber
of ball that has to be played every
day.
“We did not practice well last
week, and that carried over to
how we played,” Nelson said.
“We need to make sure that every
day we come out and play great
and not just on game day.”
Ernst’s 15 kills against the Tro
jans brought her kill total to 1,018,
making her the sixth player in
school history to record 1,000 or
more kills.
