UA volleyball team still hopeful for berth

Still hoping to get a postseason berth, the Arizona women's volleyball team will play its final two home matches of the season tonight at 7 against No. 8-ranked Oregon and Sunday at noon against Oregon State at McKale Center.

Arizona will honor seniors Brook Buringrud, Randy Goodenough and Brittany Leonard at Sunday's match. It will be tough for the Wildcats (14-12, 4-10 Pac-10) to pull off the upset against Oregon (21-6, 9-5). The Ducks, paced by Pac-10 digs leader Katie Swoboda, have at least one player in the top four of every major statistical category in the league.

And the Wildcats will face a test from Oregon State (14-13, 3-11), which boasts Rachel Rourke, who leads the conference in kills.

UA closes out regular-season play at Washington on Nov. 28 and at Washington State on Nov. 29.

The Cats need to win at least two of their last four matches to stay above .500 and be eligible for the NCAA Tournament.
