No. 18 Oregon Volleyball Moves Over .500 with 2-0 Start to Oregon Classic
Following their tough 0-2 VERT challenge against two top-three foes, no. 18 Oregon Volleyball got back to winning ways early this week against Portland State, and the momentum hasn't stopped yet. The Ducks crushed Utah Valley and Long Beach State on Friday, Aug. 31, winning the former afternoon match 25-16, 25-23, and 25-12 before sweeping the latter match as well in 25-14, 25-17, and 25-18 fashion. The Ducks' defense was impenetrable all day long, holding their opponents to a combined .093 hitting percentage. Meanwhile, head coach Matt Ulmer, senior middle blocker Sumeet Gill, and senior setter August Raskie all saw big nights Ulmer picked up his first head coaching victory over his previous team; the 2nd-year head coach for the Ducks was previously an assistant coach at LBSU for seven years, five of those full-time. Gill put up a gaudy second-match stat line, going 12 for 19 with no errors in setting a career high for kills. For Raskie, the wins propelled her to 10th on UO's… Read More

STORY: Oregon Football Looks for New Lead at Running Back
For most of the last decade, Oregon football has been synonymous with prominent running backs and deadly rushing attacks on offense. However, with the departure of program legend Royce Freeman to the NFL, the Ducks now turn to a new cast of running backs to fill the void. Tony Brooks-James, a senior that has seen his own share of success in the backfield, appears to be the heir-apparent entering 2018 but he'll have to prove it on Saturday as the Ducks battle Bowling Green in the season opener. Behind the senior sits a group of young backs itching for an opportunity to carve out their own place in the Oregon backfield, with the likes of Cyrus Habibi-Likio, CJ Verdell, and Darrian Felix, the Ducks have a variety of players to turn to as they look to reestablish a physical downhill running culture under head coach Mario Cristobal. Listen below to the full story as the Ducks search for their replacement to an all-time great.
