Washington sealed the match on the No. 2 court, winning 21-14, 21-14.

"Oregon is familiar with us and we are familiar with them. The key will be making sure we have consistent play on our side and make necessary adjustments when we need to. Playing another team five times in one year is a lot but we have to come in with a lot of urgency. We played with a lot of passion and we have to make sure we keep that going." – Voigt
