Oregon volleyball dominates 3-0 Illinois in conference opener
No. 12 Oregon volleyball (9-1, 1-0 Big Ten) played its first conference match as a member of the Big Ten against Illinois (8-3, 0-1 Big Ten). After falling by a sweep against a Pittsburgh team that’s now ranked No. 1 in the country, the Ducks have bounced back and won nine straight after defeating the Fighting Illini in straight sets, 25-21, 25-22 and 25-13.
Set 1 was a nail-biter from start to finish, featuring 12 ties and five lead changes as neither team looked willing to give in to the other.
The Ducks struggled early with four service errors, but as the set progressed, they tightened up their game and found their rhythm.
Mimi Colyer was a standout recording five kills, two assists and two blocks in the first set. Cristin Cline ran the offense masterfully, dishing out 18 assists and distributing the ball to all of her options.
Illinois, meanwhile, had trouble breaking through the Ducks' defense,…

Oregon extends win streak to eight matches after smothering its rival Beavers 3-0 at home
Eugene, OR -- No. 12 Oregon volleyball returned to Matthew Knight Arena on Sunday after a long road trip and produced a dominant performance to pick up its eighth straight win entering conference play. The Ducks finished the match with significant advantages in kills (42 to 24), hitting percentage (.351 to -.029) and blocks (14 to one).
“I thought it was our most complete match of the year. We were very consistent throughout. I thought we controlled the ball better,” head coach Matt Ulmer said at the top of his press conference. “As you can see, our block is pretty dynamic and can really mess with a lot of people.”
The Ducks' front wall seemed impenetrable at times as Noemie Glover and Onye Ofoegbu shined in the front row as Glover had a career-high 10 total blocks and Ofoegbu a season-high of eight.
Glover credits her team’s work on “hand positioning” on blocks in practice. “Sometimes we think because we jump so…
Read MoreThurston Colts demolish Springfield Millers in gritty rivalry game
The last time Kyle Miller touched the football field as a quarterback he was still a freshman, a young dual-threat athlete looking to light up the field on Friday nights. That was three years ago for Miller, slinging the ball on junior varsity and being the starter for the Thurston Colts.
Three years later on a random Monday night, Miller was asked to once again suit up as the starting quarterback for Thurston's rival game against Springfield. Miller faced this challenge head on after not seeing the field at quarterback for three years.
“When he found out he would start tonight, he didn’t flinch,” head coach Justin Starck said. “The confidence he had after not playing (quarterback) for two years, and jump out there in a big game, gives confidence to everyone.”
The Thurston Colts had a record of 3-0 before this rival match with Springfield High School, who were 0-3. The distance between Thurston and Springfield…

Football Story: The Ducks dominate the Beavers on both sides of the ball
Oregon and Oregon State football matched up for the 128th time on Saturday night. The game started with an energetic flyover and the Ducks started on defense.
On the first drive, Tysheem Johnson blocked a field goal attempt, which catapulted Oregon’s intensity for the rest of the game. The Ducks scored on every single drive, besides the two drives in which they kneeled to end each half. Oregon scored six touchdowns and two field goals with a two-point conversion on its second touchdown and held the Beavers scoreless in the second half which made the final score 49-14.
The Oregon offense was explosive — they had their way both on the ground and in the air. In the first half, the Ducks accumulated 217 yards on just 21 plays and just under nine minutes of possession. They scored touchdowns on all three full drives in the first half including a Jordan James four-yard run, a Dillon Gabriel 54-yard run and a Gabriel 20-yard pass…
