SERIES HISTORY: UCLA VS. OREGON
The Bruins and the Ducks won their home matches a season ago, as UCLA triumphed in five in Westwood on Nov. 22, while Oregon claimed a sweep in Eugene on Oct. 18. UCLA leads the all-time series over Oregon, 57-14, and is 23-10 in matches in Eugene. The Bruins will be looking to snap a two-match losing streak at Matthew Knight Arena.
