Soccer Recap: Ducks lose in dramatic fashion to the Huskies in an intense and physical game

By Mario Ponce

In a dramatic defensive battle, the Oregon Ducks soccer team  lost 1-0 to the Washington Huskies in Papé Field. The Ducks went into this game in the midst of a tough season, with a record of 0-14-2 and a streak of 8 losses. The team had lost its previous game at Stanford to the Cardinal 2-0 but looked to bounce back against a major rival. The Huskies went into the game with a 7-5-2 record after tying at home to the Colorado Buffaloes 1-1. 

The Huskies started out aggressively in the game, controlling the ball for most of the first half and getting many shots on the Oregon goal. The Ducks adjusted defensively and kept their net clean, but couldn't get much…

SOCCER PREVIEW: Ducks to Face Huskies at the End of a Difficult Season

Written by Mario Ponce

The winless Oregon Ducks will take on the Washington Huskies on Thursday night at Papé Field, after their tough 2-0 loss to the fifth ranked Stanford Cardinal. In that game, Cardinal midfielder Jasmine Aikey had a good performance, scoring the game's opening goal in the 8th minute and assisting Kennedy Wesley, who scored the second goal in the 76th minute. A positive for the Ducks is that sophomore goalie Maddy Goldberg made history, tying the program's save record with 15 in the game.

Oregon:

The Ducks have a record of 0-14-2, with both ties in non-conference away games. This gives them zero conference standing points. The team has a streak of eight consecutive losses. The key for this next game is to improve on the defensive front, as they have conceded 43 goals this season while only scoring seven. This gives them a goal difference of -36, highlighted by an 8-1 loss to California last week. If they can do this…

15. SAN ANTONIO SPURS 

Offseason Acquisitions: Victor Wembanyama, Cedi Osman, Reggie Bullock 

X-Factor: Devin Vassell; Head Coach: Greg Popovich

The San Antonio Spurs may as well relocate to Las Vegas with how lucky they were in the draft lottery, landing Victor Wembanyama with the 1st pick; the most coveted prospect to come through the draft since Lebron James in 2003. The Spurs are landing a generational player with a hall-of-fame ceiling, championship aspirations, and the hopes of becoming the face of the Spurs franchise. However, don’t expect Wemby’s impact on the floor to translate to wins just yet. The Spurs have a long way to go before they contend for a championship, let alone a playoff spot. They…

VB STORY: #8 Ducks fall to #3 Cardinal in back-and-forth match

Written Story by Cuinn Huber

The Oregon Ducks volleyball team came into Sunday's match against the Stanford Cardinal with high hopes of solidifying their top-eight rankings. Coming into this match the Ducks have a great record but have lost the past two Sunday home games they have played against Washington State and Arizona State respectively. However, in their last match against UC Berkeley, they swept and had a .406 hitting percentage. Optimism was high amongst the team and a victory against Stanford was very much a possibility.

The first set began well for Oregon when Mimi Colyer opened with a kill scoring the first point of the match. The set remained a fierce back-and-forth battle between the two teams with neither going on any long scoring streaks. Eventually, Stanford came out the victor winning set number one 25-23. Going into set two Oregon was hoping to reverse their set one fortune and Stanford was hoping to continue their momentum. This set was again…
