Ducks Win National Championship; Complete Three-Peat HAMDEN, Conn. -- The No. 1 seed University of Oregon acrobatics and tumbling team defeated the No. 2 seed Quinnipiac Bobcats last season, 277.885-273.655, in Hamden, Conn., to win the NCATA National Championship for the third year in a row.

Oregon swept the Compulsory round, totaling 38.45 points to QU’s 36.8 thanks in part to a perfect 10.0 in Heat 2 and a 9.95 in Heat 3. The Ducks won the first two heats of the Acro round with scores of 9.95 and 9.55 before Quinnipiac answered back by winning Heat 3. Overall, UO just edged QU 27.76-27.52 in the round.

The Pyramid round was another extremely close one as the teams tied at 29.65 after tying the first heat and splitting the next two.

Oregon recorded another perfect 10 in Heat 2. Going into halftime, Oregon led 95.86-93.97. UO came out of halftime on fire as it swept the Toss and Tumbling rounds, topping Quinnipiac 29.35-27.80 and 57.88-55.83, respectively. The Ducks recorded scores of 9.95 or higher in the final three Tumbling heats.

Up by 5.49 before the Team Routine, Oregon looked to put the meet away in the final event. While Quinnipiac won the Team Routine 96.06-94.80, the Ducks were able to score enough points to seal the win and their third straight National Championship.

Oregon advanced to the finals by defeating fifth-seeded Fairmont State, 280.225-265.475. The Ducks started the meet off on fire as they topped FSU 38.0-36.70 in the Compulsory round, recording a perfect 10 in Heat 2 and a near-perfect 9.90 in Heat 3.

Oregon continued its solid play in the Acro round, outscoring the Falcons 28.35-27.2. FSU won its only heat of the entire meet in the round, as it scored a 9.35 to Oregon’s 9.30 in Heat 2. In the final event before halftime, UO bested FSU 29.05-28.0 in the Pyramid round to go up 95.40-91.90.

Oregon didn’t look back the rest of the meet as it swept every event in the second half. The Falcons put up a fight in the Toss round but ultimately fell 28.9-28.2. The Ducks scored above 9.0 in five of the six Tumbling heats, led by Nichole Erlichman and Natasha Katzaroff’s scores of 9.83 in the 6-element and 7-element, respectively. In the Team Routine, Oregon sealed its victory, outscoring the Falcons by 5.4 points to win the meet by a total of 14.75 points.

In the event finals, the top-seeded Ducks won 12 event championships while Tara Lubert won the Most Outstanding Performer Award. Sarah Moreno, Erlichman, Katzaroff and Lubert were named NCATA All-Americans.

The Ducks finished the regular season unbeaten for the second straight season, winning all six matches. The Ducks have gone 19 consecutive meets without a loss.
