The Oregon acrobatics and tumbling team continued their winning ways Saturday afternoon at Matthew Knight Arena when they defeated Fairmont State, 284.13-265.71, in a meet that never really felt close.

The meet began with the compulsory event where the Ducks were able to win all four phases and jump out to an early 38.15-36.45 lead.

Following the compulsory event, the two squads competed in the acro event, where the Ducks won all three heats, expanding their lead to 6.5 points over the Falcons. Oregon looked much crisper than Fairmont State in the event and were seemingly executing their stunts to perfection. After the completion of the event, the score read 67.7-61.2 in favor of the Ducks.

The third event of the meet was the pyramid event, and unlike the first two events, the pyramid was highly contested.

Turning point. After the three heats, the scores were revealed, and the Ducks were able to slightly best the Falcons, winning the event 29.35-29.15. Their victory in the pyramid event gave Oregon a 97.05-90.35, as the teams returned to the locker rooms for the 15-minute halftime.

Coming back from halftime, they maintained their high level of execution, and Fairmont State could simply not keep up. Entering the toss event, the Ducks consistently had higher starting scores, and they won all three heats, taking the event 28.9-26.9.

The meet continued on into its latter stages with the fifth event: the tumbling event. This was more of the same for the Ducks as they were consistently better than the Falcons, winning all six heats and ballooning their lead to 180.98-170.45 as they headed into the final event.

The meet concluded with the team routine, and once again, they outshone the visitors and won the event 101.15-95.26, taking the overall meet 284.13-265.71.

On the horizon. The Ducks remain undefeated this season and will have a little while to recover and prepare for their next meet. They return to action on March 25 as they travel to Hamden, Conn., to take on Quinnipiac University.
