STORY: Oregon's Defensive Backs up to Challenge in Darren Carrington's Return

As a member of the Utah Utes, Carrington leads the Pac-12 with 92.7 receiving yards per game. On Saturday, he makes his much-anticipated return to Autzen Stadium on the opposing sideline.

Ducks get second Pac-12 win with 3-0 victory over Utah

Papé Field looked like something out of a movie with the fog and mist taking over the field. That didn't have an effect on the Oregon soccer team as they asserted their dominance and took down Utah 3-0. The Ducks had possession for most of the game and finally broke through with Nicole Seaman's header in the 41st minute. They then capitalized on a Utah mistake and Miranda Schulz scored in the 47th minute. Seaman later got her second goal of the night in the 88th minute. They move to 8-9 on the season and 2-7 in Pac-12 play. The Ducks will finish off their home schedule on senior day as they take on the Colorado Buffaloes at 11 a.m. on Sunday.
