VB | No. 16 Oregon Volleyball Cruises to Four-Set Victory Over No. 23 Arizona

No. 16 Oregon volleyball finished off its weekend in the desert in impressive fashion, defeating No. 23 Arizona in four sets 25-22, 25-22, 22-25, and 25-17 on Sunday. The Ducks were led by Lindsey Vander Weide and her 17 kills on 40 attacks and five errors for a hitting percentage of .300. The senior also contributed 12 digs and four blocks, good for a double-double on the day. Oregon got another strong outing from freshmen libero Brooke Nuneviller, who finished the weekend with 45 total digs after 27 on Sunday. The Ducks leaned heavily on its service game, which tallied nine aces, four of which came from Nuneviller. The win completes the weekend road sweep and moves Oregon to 15-7 and 8-4 in Pac-12 play, good for a tie at second in the standings. Next up for Oregon is a home-swing versus the LA schools, beginning with No. 15 USC on Friday at 7 p.m. Listen below to the postmatch interviews and a full game story.

FB | No. 19 Oregon Left Shellshocked in 44-15 Loss at Arizona

No. 19 Oregon football fell for its consecutive weekend on the road, this time in shocking fashion after Arizona's dominant 44-15 win. The loss was highlighted by the Ducks inability to move the ball with the Wildcats outgaining them 465 to 270. It was an especially rough night for quarterback Justin Herbert, who finished the night 24-48 for just 186 yards, two touchdowns and an interception. Oregon didn't help out their quarterback out much either, with only 84 yards coming on the ground after 23 attempts. It was all too familiar of a start on offense for Oregon, which in the first 10 plays amassed just 28 yards on four drives that resulted in three separate three-and-outs and a fumble from Travis Dye. By the time the Ducks tallied a first down, Arizona already led the game 10-0.  Two more field goals from Josh Pollack extended the lead to 16-0 before Oregon finally found some rhythm on offense thanks to Dillon Mitchell, who capped off a seven play, 75 yard drive with a 29-… Read More
