Oregon Volleyball traveled to Stanford on Thursday as they were faced with the challenge of facing the #2 team on the nation on the road. That challenge proved to be too much for the #17 Ducks as they fell 3-1. Oregon got off to a hot start in set one, and battled Stanford back and forth to a 26-24 loss. Holly Campbell of Stanford had four solo blocks in that set, carrying the way for the top blocking team in the nation. In set two, Oregon jumped out to a 9-4 lead before Stanford put together a big run to come back in the set. Tied at 22-22, Stanford came out of the timeout with a 3-0 run to take set two 25-22. In set three, the struggles started to hit for Oregon and they were trailing 11-4. Oregon slowly came all the way back to impressively win that set 25-22. Set four was a different story, as the Cardinal dominated Oregon 25-11 behind seven blocks. Stanford had a great team effort with many players making impacts, but they were undoubtedly led by 2017 ESPNw player of the year… Read More

Oregon football's defense may be catching the Utah offense at just the right time after the Utes' starting quarterback Tyler Huntley suffered a season ending broken collarbone last week in the team's loss to Arizona State. The Ducks will lean on its defense to continue its momentum from last week's win over UCLA, when Oregon forced three turnovers that its offense turned into 21 points the other way. But Oregon will have to do it without starting inside linebacker and senior leader Kaulana Apelu, who suffered a leg injury and will miss the remainder of the regular season. Stepping up in his place are Sampson Niu and Keith Simms, who both need to be ready to help junior Troy Dye secure the front against the Pac-12's no. 2 rusher in Zach Moss. Listen below to head coach Mario Cristobal, associate head coach and defensive coordinator Joe Salave'a, plus Sampson Niu, who all addressed the media following Wednesday morning's practice.

The Ducks were able to win their second meeting in as many years against the Portland State Vikings, taking it 84-57. With the return of Payton Pritchard and Paul White in the starting lineup, the Ducks looked like a more comfortable team on both sides of the ball, as Payton Pritchard recorded 22 points, 3 rebounds, and 3 assists. Paul White also chipped in 15 points, 3 rebounds, and a blocked shot. On the defensive side, the Ducks continued to look like a very intimating force in the paint, as Bol Bol and Kenny Wooten combined for 4 blocks, leading the team to 7 total blocks. For the Vikings, they now fall to 7-53 all-time against current teams in the Pac-12 Conference, as last year's Big Sky Conference Freshman of the Year Holland Woods struggled to get it going on the offensive end, finishing with 13 points on 5-16 shooting from the fleld. Jamie Orme was the only other Viking in double figures with 11. The Vikings now fall to 0-1 on the season, as the Ducks improve to 1-0 and will… Read More

It'll be a clash of strength this Saturday in Salt Lake City when Oregon football brings its ground attack to meet the Pac-12's top rushing defense in Utah. For the Ducks, it's also an opportunity to put their offensive road woes behind them. At both Washington State and Arizona, Oregon failed to run for 100 yards and scored under 30 points for the only two times this year. After CJ Verdell led the team in rushing last week with 90 yards, Oregon has also failed to find a back to go for over a 100 yards since its win over Washington. Listen below as offensive coordinator Marcus Arroyo discusses the challenges facing Oregon's offense this week in Utah. Offensive Coordinator Marcus Arroyo Read More
