No. 16 Washington volleyball swept on road by No. 19 Oregon

Seattle Sports

The No. 16 Washington volleyball team hit a frigid .152 as it was swept on the road against No. 19 Oregon on Friday night.

Marin Grote had 10 kills to lead the Huskies, who lost 25-13, 25-19, 25-18. Claire Hoffman added eight kills and five digs. The Huskies were missing Emoni Bush because of injury.

“Not being able to physically match up on the defensive side of the ball was the most frustrating thing,” UW coach Keegan Cook. “At this stage we’ve been through a lot of adversity and we’re down some bodies and doing the best we can, but it just seemed like physically we weren’t able to hang at the net or behind it, so it’s hard to create momentum or scoring runs when you’re not able to slow things down.”

The Huskies (16-7, 8-5 Pac-12) have lost two in a row and four of their last seven matches.

Mimi Colyer had 14 kills to lead the Ducks (16-5, 10-3), who hit .402.

Laura Jansen had 14 kills, six digs and four blocks and Magda Jehlarova added 13 kills and six blocks as Washington State (17-7, 9-4 Pac-12) swept Oregon State (7-16, 2-11) on the road 25-19, 25-19, 25-22.
