Heather Meyers: Ace Machine

Your #3-ranked Washington Huskies volleyball team gets their stiffest test of the season tonight; they play at #7 Oregon. The Ducks are one of eight unbeaten teams in the nation–they are third in hitting percentage and have the nation’s most dangerous server in Heather Meyers, who’s averaging nearly an ace per set.

Washington and Oregon played two thrilling matches last season, with the Dawgs prevailing each time: In five sets at Hec Ed in October, and in four in Oregon the next month.

Overall, the Huskies have won 16 straight matches over the Ducks, with Oregon’s last win in 2000 at Mac Court.

The UW athletic department points out that the Dawgs and Ducks have had three common opponents this season:

Minnesota: UW 3-0, UO 3-2.

Portland St.: UW 3-0, UO 3-1.

Seattle U: UW 3-0, UO 3-0.

The game is at 7pm. There’s no TV or radio; the best way to follow the match is probably on the UW Volleyball Twitter feed.
