Head-to-Head history:
Oregon and Michigan State have split the two previous meetings in the short series history.
The Spartans notched a four-set victory on their home floor in 2013 with UO returning the favor the following season in Eugene. 

Sunday will be the fifth meeting between Oregon and Michigan, and third on the Wolverines' home floor. The teams first met in 1990--a UO sweep in Boise--before playing three times in a span of four seasons between 2013 and 2016. Most recently, Michigan beat the Ducks in an NCAA second-round match during the 2016 postseason, which Michigan won. Series tied 2-2.

Some players to watch:

Oregon: Mimi Colyer, Onye Ofoegbu, Cristin Cline, Noemi Glover, Michelle Ohwobete, Colby Neal
Michigan: Valentina Vaulet, Serena Nyambio, Morgan Burke, Allison Jacobs?
Michigan State: Taylor Preston, Akasha Anderson, Julia Bishop, Zuzanna Kulig, Nalani Iosia

The Ducks couldn't have asked for an easier year to take a road trip to the State of Michigan, where the Wolverines and Spartans are poised to heal all ills. I'm looking forward to seeing Mimi and company in person on Saturday night as they get the full Cliff Keen experience and wonder if they are really playing in a Big Ten venue, where the ball is still in play when it bounces off the back wall.

JJVb , you should really add Naloni Iosia to the MSU players to watch list. She's a gem on an absolute dud of a roster. Go Blue!

You are right. I will add her.

I would replace Holdem with Akasha Anderson for MSU. Anderson has been over 4 kills per set the last few weeks since they moved her to the right side.

[JJVb]

13s in the 2nd.

[JJVb]

Got behind couple times in the 2nd, but finished strong 25-18. Led by Mimi with 8 kills. All pins with good numbers.

[JJVb]

Ducks block part today. 19!

[JJVb]

Ducks do today, what they didnt do vs SC. Finish in 3. Nice. Ducks led by Colyer with 12 kills 7 blocks. Glover with 10 kills.

Really nice to see Glover swinging well these past few matches. Hopefully her block continues to follow.

We looked really slow defensively and on serve receive but were just way too powerful for MSU.

Cline needs to get her mojo/swagger back.

It was encouraging to see Allison Jacobs out of her boot on Thursday night, but she was not dressed nor did she participate in warmups. I'm assuming she is out again tonight.

Simmons replaced Demetrician in the starting lineup against Maryland on Thursday and had the best match of her career, getting 13K at .320. It's likely to be much more difficult tonight against the Oregon block. Vaulet remains Blue's primary offensive weapon, passing will dictate how involved the middles will be.

It should be hot, sweaty and loud at Cliff Keen tonight. Hoping we can steal a set and make it interesting. Go Blue!

Was just in my Facebook feed. It's saying the Oregon/Michigan match is on espn2 and not b1g+?

[blastingsand]

Should be fun.....
This was almost the national championship match in 2012 had Michigan pulled it off against Texas
