Oregon Volleyball lost in three sets (25-14, 25-18, 25-21) at home to #19 Cal. The Golden Bears set the intensity early with an 11-1 run in the middle of the first set to propel them to a dominant set one victory. In set two, the Bears strung off 5 straight points to go up 11-6 and never looked back, going up 2-0. The last set was more competitive but Cal kept its position in the drivers seat throughout, finishing the Ducks in three sets. Oregon was held to a .135 hitting percentage for the match. Willow Johnson was the only attacker with double-digit kills (10 kills, .400, 12 digs). Brooke Nuneviller was limited to 7 kills and .190, but led the way defensively with 13 digs. Ronika Stone had just 5 kills on .118 hitting. Taylor Williams (6 kills, .000) and Karson Bacon (7 kills, .286) each contributed offensively but overall, Oregon couldn't work through its 20 team attack errors. Defensively, the Ducks only had 3 blocks, while Cal had 8. Cal's staggering defense was led by Mima…

It wasn't an ideal Pac-12 home opener for the Ducks, but took home a 17-7 victory behind a 17-0 second half. The Ducks started the game plunging down the field with CJ Verdell and Travis Dye, but that drive was abrupted by Justin Herbert's first INT of the season. Cal stormed down the field behind two big throws from QB Devon Modster, including a 22 yard Pass TD to RB Christopher Brown. Oregon's struggles continued in the first half, as Travis Dye fumbled the ball twice to squander major scoring opportunities. Dye saw extra time as Verdell went down with a right leg injury. Down 7-0 at halftime, the Ducks came out of the gates better in the second half, finding its first points of the day behind a 28 yard Camden Lewis FG. Later in the 3rd quarter, Justin Herbert connected with Jacob Breeland for a big play to put Oregon on the 2 yard line. Cyrus Habibi-Likio punched it in to put the Ducks up 10-7 with 1:38 left in the 3rd quarter. Oregon's dominant defensive play continued to not…

Oregon Volleyball falls to Stanford in four sets in front of an energetic crowd at Matthew Knight Arena Friday night. To the surprise of many, including Oregon, star Cardinal outside hitter Kathryn Plummer did not suit up for the match. The Ducks took advantage of a Plummer-less Stanford squad, taking the first set 25-21 behind Brooke Nuneviller's six kills. Oregon and their fans had a rude awakening when Stanford scored the first five points of set two and took the set 25-11. The 24th ranked Oregon Ducks and the 3rd ranked Stanford Cardinal kept it close in sets three and four but it was Stanford who ended up victorious taking both sets 25-19. Stanford improves to 8-3 while the Ducks fall further below .500 at 5-7. The Ducks, who most likely need a win to stay in the rankings take on the 19th ranked California Golden Bears Sunday at 1 pm inside Matthew Knight Arena.
