In game 3 of a four-game series, Seattle University came out on top over the Ducks, 4-2. While still early in the season, Oregon's offense was never able to string together a rally, despite two early runs, one of which scored off a balk. Starter Brett Walker pitched 3 innings, giving up 2 earned runs while striking out 2 and walking 1. Coach Wasikowski said after the game that was the plan from the start, as he wanted to limit Walker to around 50 pitches to keep him healthy.

Oregon will try and take the series tomorrow at PK Park, playing Seattle with first pitch scheduled for 12 pm PST.

On Friday afternoon, the Oregon Women’s Volleyball took on the Colorado Buffalos at Matthew Knight Arena for their first of two matches this weekend. The Buffalos battled hard throughout each set, but it was Ducks who were able to find and maintain consistent intensity and hold off the Buffs for a three-game sweep.

            “Overall each individual came in very prepared, feeling very confident, our practices are good, film sessions are very focused - just a group that wants to be good, and their doing all the things that you need to do in order to find success” Coach Ulmer stated after the match.

It also helped that the ladies got great performances from players Brooke Nuneviller, Abby Hansen, Kylie Robinson, and Karson Bacon. Bacon started the match with seven kills in the first set and finished with 11 on a .611 Hit percentage. She later spoke…

Graeme Abel's message at the start of the season was to not worry about results, there was none bigger result than tonight in Oregon Soccer History. The now 2-0-1 Oregon Ducks took down the defending national champs Stanford Cardinal 2-1 Friday night at a cold and rainy Pape Field.

Oregon, who has never beaten the Cardinal (0-22-1), did it the fashion Graeme Abel preached all week. When teams traditionally lineup against Stanford, who has won two of the three past NCAA Championships, they sit back, defend, and try to grab one lucky goal. Oregon did not. The Ducks played their game from start to end and created superior chances although Stanford had more attempts on target.The Ducks started hot when Eden Hardy powered the ball past Kate Meyer in the 23rd minute for her first goal of the season. Oregon didn't let up, nearly scoring to start the second half when Ally Cook rounded the keeper but couldn't finish the opportunity. She got her revenge in the 64th minute when she…

The Oregon Ducks defeated the Seattle Redhawks by a score of 6-0 Friday night. The win improves the Ducks record to 9-0 at PK Park under coach Mark Wasikowski.

The first couple of innings were scoreless before the Ducks offense exploded in the bottom of the 3rd inning scoring 6 runs on 5 hits. The inning was highlighted by a Josh Kasevich 2-run home run and a Tanner Smith RBI triple that came after a Gabe Matthews reached on ground rule double. The Ducks registered 5 of their 8 hits of the game in the game during the 3rd inning.

While the hitting in the 3rd inning proved to be the difference, the story of the game was the pitching for the Ducks as Junior Peyton Fuller had 3 strikeouts in 7 scoreless innings pitched giving up only 5 hits. True Freshman Rio Britton pitched 2 no-hit innings in the 8th and 9th with a walk and 2 strikeouts including striking out Grant Heiser looking to solidify the victory.
