Oregon took control early and never let go, building its advantage in the compulsory event before steadily widening the gap across the rest of the meet. By the end of the night, the Ducks had outscored the Sharks in every event and finished with a margin of nearly 12 points.
The Ducks were crisp from the start. Oregon posted three scores above 9.0 in compulsory, capped by a 9.900 in the toss heat, continuing what has been one of the team’s most reliable areas all season.
That momentum carried into acro, where Cassidy Cu and Angelica Martin helped lead another strong event for the Ducks. Oregon again stacked multiple scores above 9.0 and pushed its running total to 66.950 through two events, already opening up a lead of more than three points.
Pyramid gave Oregon its best moment of the night. In the open heat, Ashlyn Parlett, Emily Rezner, Ava Gowdy, Blessyn McMorris and Selah Bell, with Sophia Wing as counter, delivered a 9.950. It was Oregon’s third score of 9.95 this season in the event and helped send the Ducks into halftime with a four-point cushion.
The second half only widened the gap.
Oregon turned in a season-best 28.850 in toss, with the open heat producing a 9.75 to match the team’s best toss mark of the season. Parlett, Rezner, Charlotte Lippa and Molly Dahlager provided support while Carly Garcia delivered the toss in one of the Ducks’ cleanest sequences of the night.
Tumbling kept the pressure on. Oregon scored above 9.0 in all six passes and reached the 57-point range for the third time this season. Garcia, Briya Alvarado and Morgan Willingham were among the standouts as the Ducks took a commanding lead into the team event.
From there, Oregon slammed the door.
