Oregon Volleyball landed the no. 15 seed in the 2018 NCAA Tournament on Sunday, November 25 and will host the first and second rounds at Matthew Knight Arena, starting with New Mexico State on Thursday, November 29 at 7 PM. It is the first time the Ducks have hosted the opening rounds of the tournament since 2014, which is also the last time Oregon reached the third round of the tourney. Oregon locked up its hosting bid following a 2-0 stretch this past week, in which the Ducks survived in five sets at no. 19 Washington and then knocked off Oregon State in the Civil War in four sets. Those wins moved Oregon to 20-10 on the year and 13-7 in Pac-12 play, good enough to match the program's best finish in the conference standings after tying for second with USC. The winner of Oregon-New Mexico State will play the winner of Hawaii and Baylor, who play each other before Oregon's opening match, in Eugene on Friday.

Oregon Football closed their regular season with a 55-15 victory in the 122nd Civil War in Corvallis, losing Justin Herbert to an upper-body injury in the process. Braxton Burmeister filled in for Herbert after half, but in reality, freshmen tailbacks CJ Verdell and Travis Dye replaced the star quarterback's production. Dye posted career-highs with 33 carries for 199 yards, chipping in a touchdown in the process, while Verdell needed just 24 touches to reach career-highs of 208 yards from scrimmage and five total touchdowns. Burmeister attempted just two passes, completing one for 16 yards; before the injury, Herbert went 9-12 through the air for 102 yards and a touchdown to Verdell. The Ducks raced out of the gates under initially amenable weather conditions, scoring touchdowns on two of their first three drives in a dry Reser Stadium. Oregon State added a field goal before halftime but missed an opportunity midway through the second quarter, when third-string quarterback Jack… Read More

Oregon Football Head Coach Mario Cristobal is familiar with great rivalries, having played in some high stakes games against Florida State during his blocking days with Miai. It may not come as a surprise, then, that his Ducks are showing extra respect to the Beavers ahead of the 122nd Civil War. There's plenty of recent history to make this iteration special, but even so, the Ducks recruited some help to instill the importance of the Civil War in their players.
