VB | Oregon falls to Arizona State in straight sets

#12 Oregon Ducks fell in straight sets 25-23, 25-22, 25-22 to Arizona State to complete a weekend home sweep to push the Ducks to 2-2 in conference play and 9-5 overall. Leading the way for the Sun Devils was Serbian-born Ivana Jeremic who had a match-high 16 kills to go with 12 digs. On the other side, Ronika Stone and Lindsey Vander Weide were the only Ducks to crack double-digit kills. The Ducks also hit just .189 on the match, much below their season average. Next up for the Ducks is a trip to LA to face USC and UCLA, both top-25 teams. Match Story: (by Austin Cracraft) Read More

FB | No. 19 Oregon Defeats No. 24 Cal in First Road Test

The Oregon Ducks took to the road for the first time all season, heading south to Berkley to take on the California Golden Bears in a game that saw improvements on both sides of the ball as the Ducks pulled out a victory 42-24. After last week's heartbreaking loss to Stanford, all eyes were on Oregon's defense and how they would defend the Bears' quarterback duo of Brandon McIlwain and Chase Garbers. For the most part, the defense rose to the occasion, allowing only 184 yards and one touchdown through the air. Defensive Backs Jevon Holland and Ugo Amadi had two interceptions apiece, but Amadi capped off his big night (seven solo tackles) by returning his second interception to the end zone to shut away the Bears for good. Quarterback Justin Hebert had another stellar night, completing 16 of 22 passes for 225 yards and two touchdowns, including a masterful 36-yard touchdown pass to Dillon Mitchell. Travis Dye led the backfield with 20 carries, totaling 115 yards and a… Read More

STORY: After Disaster, Cristobal's Leadership the Key For the Ducks

No. 19 Oregon seems to have two seasons already during 2018 - what happened before the team's 3rd quarter, 4th quarter and overtime collapse against no. 7 Stanford, and what comes next. The Ducks showed against the Cardinal that they can compete with some of the best teams in the country on their day, but a loss of such monumental proportions can crush even battle-hardened squads. Now more than ever, Oregon's 2018 success depends on the ability of their leader from the sidelines - head coach Mario Cristobal. According to the Ducks, there's extreme faith that through his unique leadership, he'll guide them properly in the aftermath of heartbreak. After Disaster, Ducks Must Count on Cristobal Read More
