Cullen Kafka's gem leads the way for Oregon Ducks baseball

By Kent Williams

On a cloudy Saturday afternoon, the #19 Oregon Ducks(9-4) played anything but gloomy against the Arizona State Sundevils(12-4). It all started on the mound, where junior righty Cullen Kafka put together yet another spectacular pitching performance together for the Ducks pitching staff. He set or matched career highs with 7 innings pitched, 11 strikeouts on 106 pitches for his start. He also did not walk anyone or allow a run, while only giving up 4 hits. His performance today lowers his season ERA all the way down to a minuscule 0.32. Offensively, the Ducks got off to a slow start, but Kenyon Yovan got things rolling with his 6th home run of the year, this time a 2-run shot down the left field line. Later, Gabe Matthews would contribute his own 2-run home run to dead center. Other contributors include Aaron Zavala, who walked 3 times, and Sam Novitske, who drove in 2 runs.

The Ducks will look to take the series against the #23 Sundevils tomorrow…

Oregon Volleyball Wins Thriller Against Oregon State in 5 Sets

By Knight Jarecki

The first match of 2021 rivalry series between the Oregon Ducks and the Oregon State Beavers volleyball teams was one for the ages as the Oregon Ducks prevailed victorious in a 5 set thriller.

The Oregon Ducks were on the court for the first time in 12 days after last weekend's series against Stanford was cancelled due to COVID-19 protocols within the Cardinal program. The match marked the Ducks 7th straight home match.

The first set was a competitive one as the Ducks edged out the Beavers in a seesaw of a set 26-24. Although the Ducks won the first set, Oregon State came out on fire in the second set dominating Oregon for a 25-19 victory. After gaining some momentum at the end of the 2nd set, Oregon was able to continue to keep the momentum in their favor as the Ducks were able to take command of the 3rd set with a 25-15 win. Oregon State was like a gnat and would not go away as the Beavs ousted the Ducks 25-21 in dominant fashion…

Oregon Ducks Soccer's Late Game Heroics Lead to Win vs. Arizona

By: Xaiver Aguiar

The Wildcat's greatest foe is the grey wolf, but after the events on Sunday afternoon, the duck will hold that designation. Oregon stunned Arizona with a 1-0 win as they surpassed their 2019 conference win total. The game was far from smooth, but the result is all that matters.

Arizona played a much different style of soccer than was on display Friday night by their in-state rivals, Arizona State. Whereas the Sun Devils let the game come to them, the Wildcats were far more aggressive. They enacted a full press for a majority of the game, making possession difficult for the Ducks. Arizona too struggled to maintain possession of the ball, making for a methodical game. There were no great scoring opportunities or highlight moments by either side for the first half.

The start of the second half was night-and-day from that of the first. The pace of the game dramatically changed, and the field began to open up. Both sides…
