MINNEAPOLIS — Oregon’s season ended at the hands of North Carolina Friday night as the volleyball team suffered a four-set defeat in the third round of the NCAA Tournament, 25-23,25-22, 23-25, 25-16.

“We fought hard, we passed, we played well in the first three sets,” said Oregon head coach Jim Moore. “We were outhitting them, statistically, in the first three sets — we kept trying to figure out how we were losing. Statistically we were in front after the first three, but it’s not about the stats, it’s about the points.”

Liz Brenner finished her career with the Ducks second in program history in points (1,775.5), third in kills (1,617) and 10th in digs (1,140).

“I loved my career at Oregon,” Brenner said. “I could not have asked for better coaches, team and staff. (The team) is going to do some big things the next few years, and I am really going to enjoy watching them.”
