NEWS Two former University Health Center employees are being sued for racial discrimination by Dylan Blanks, the current UHC nursing team lead. (Emerald Archives)

HEALTH CENTER NURSE SUES UO FOR RACIAL DISCRIMINATION

BY ZACK DEMARS • TWITTER @ZACK_DEMARS A nurse at the University Health Center is suing the University of Oregon and two former UHC leaders for racial discrimination, among other things. In a ruling this month, a judge found that some of the claims can proceed, while others were dismissed on technical grounds that could be amended and brought back to a trial.

In the complaint filed in October 2017, Dylan Blanks, now the nursing team lead in the UHC, claimed that Lorretta Cantwell, then a UHC director of nursing, treated her differently than other employees and created a “hostile work environment” on the basis of Blanks’ race.

Specifically, the claims state that Cantwell reduced or interfered with Blanks’ responsibilities, “micromonitored” her work and excluded her from activities she was normally a part of, as well as other things. e complaint states that the conduct worsened after Blanks reported vaccine handling violations and due to Cantwell’s misunderstanding of “diverse ways of communication.” e Emerald is published

NEWSROOM

After Blanks reported the behavior to the university’s Office of Affirmative Action and Equal Opportunity, which oversaw complaints of racial and employment discrimination, the AAEO investigated the claims.

A June 2017 report from the office found that Cantwell’s behavior “more likely than not” violated UO’s policy against discriminatory harassment and Community Standards Affirmation. e report continues that, “Cantwell engaged in conduct toward [Blanks] that was at least in part based on [Blanks’] race, was unwelcome and sufficiently pervasive that it created an intimidating and hostile working environment for [Blanks] and interfered with [Blank’s] work.” e university report did not find that the conduct constituted an “adverse employment action,” as is required by some of Blank’s legal claims. e lawsuit also named LeAnn Gutierrez, the former executive director of the UHC, as having enabled Cantwell to discriminate against Blanks. e

AAEO report did not address claims against Gutierrez.

Neither Cantwell nor Gutierrez are still employed by the university. Gutierrez left the UO in May 2018 for a position at Florida Atlantic University. Cantwell left the university in early October to “pursue other opportunities,” according to university spokesperson Tobin Klinger.

In its legal arguments, the university did not address the question of whether the alleged discrimination took place. Rather, it argued that the suit should be dismissed on technical and procedural grounds.

In addressing that argument, District Judge Ann Aiken dismissed three of Blanks’ five claims and allowed the other two to proceed. e next step in the suit is for Blanks to amend her complaint to fix those procedural issues, according to Beth Creighton, Blanks’ attorney. e Emerald will continue to report on this story as it develops.

HOW TO BOUNCE BACK

AFTER TANKING YOUR MIDTERM

BY GEORGIA GREENBLUM

So you tanked a midterm.

Maybe it was a test that you studied hard for but surprisingly didn’t do well on, or maybe it was a presentation that you had little preparation for and crammed last minute.

Either way, when the grades get posted, your self-confidence is down, anger may bubble inside of you and you may even give up on yourself.

But giving up is not the only option available to students.

Different departments on campus offer free resources that students can use to manage their stress. From therapeutic and academic counseling to Wellness Center events, University of Oregon students have many options other than tutoring or longterm therapy.

Eric Garcia, a senior staff therapist at the UO Counseling Center, said that negative reactions to poor grades aren’t doing students any favors.

“Students experience a range of stressors both within their roles as students and their own personal challenges and responsibilities,” Garcia said. “ ese stressors can lead to harmful habits over time and eventually affect both the professional and personal lives of students.”

Unsure of where to start? Try the Counseling Center. Aside from therapy and additional resources, it also provides books for introspection, including “Coping with the Unexpected,” which reminds students to keep things in perspective, develop a game plan and manage their stress.

Anna Kulawiec, a peer wellness advocate at the Wellness Center, said that one

of the department’s resources, the Duck Nest, is the place to go for students to regain perspective and manage their stress.

“We encourage others to look past daily struggles and instead focus on self-care, making sure that all of the work and stress doesn’t eat away at the individual,” Kulawiec said. “ at’s why I love so many of our programs. … programs like meditation classes, yoga, and PAAWS [dogs at the Duck Nest] let students focus on well-being and fun.”

With events such as yoga throughout the week and different workshops every Tuesday, students have many opportunities to get the services they need.

After reflecting and regaining perspective, it is now time to face the material that was on your midterm. e Tutoring and Learning Center has you covered. Located on the fourth floor of the Knight Library, the TLC offers free drop-in help for math, language and writing.

Additionally, there are dropin “study strategies,” Monday through Friday from 7 to 9 p.m., weekly pop-up support where students are encouraged to stop by with questions about time management, organization, reading, note taking, test preparation and more.

Garcia said it is up to the individual to regain confidence and perspective on their current situation.

“Oftentimes we ruminate over our stressors and selfcritical thoughts, which makes it difficult to stay calm or focus on things we need to do,” she said.

‘LIP SYNC RELOADED’

SUPPORTS LOCAL FAMILIES More than 100 people filled the McDonald eatre Friday night for a lip sync battle with a Halloween theme. Relief Nursery hosted its third annual Lip Sync Reloaded event that featured eight performing groups from the community. Each group graced the stage in costumes related to their performance, from Michael Jackson’s “ riller” to men performing cheer routines in green and white cheer suits.

Relief Nursery is an organization formed to help parents in need of guidance to have healthy family relationships. According to their mission statement, Relief Nursery “prevents the cycle of child abuse and neglect through early intervention that focuses on building successful and resilient children, strengthening parents, and preserving families.”

While this was presented as a fun event, audience members were also able to bid between $25 and $1,000 on the group they found to be the most entertaining. e donations will be used for parental education courses for a full year. e funds generated from this event are helping their mission to successfully educate parents who may need these resources. ough the issue behind this event is a serious matter, it was great to have a group of members from the community come and put their all into a lip sync performance. e performances ranged from tributes to Madonna and NSYNC to the Addams Family and Hocus Pocus reenactments.

Groups from around Eugene and Springfield performed: Eugene’s Summit Funding, Inc., e

Human Bean, Eugene Emerald’s, Relief Nursery, Junior League of Eugene, the Eugene-Springfield Fire Department, Eugene Active 20-30 Club #920 and Kendall Auto Group.

Jen Henrikson, a board member of the Junior League of Eugene, dressed as an early 2000s Britney Spears for her performance. She explained her reasons for participating in the lip sync event as a way to connect what her organization — which is mostly targeted toward women — does and how it coincides with what the Relief Nursery stands for. ough the first stop in Halloween festivities for some, various people from all ages attended. One member of the audience, Haley Schuman, described the event as a great way to have fun doing something that’s never been done in the area before, and to support the Relief Nursery. “ ere’s really not an event like it in the Eugene-Springfield area. … it’s kind of a trend right now to do like the lip sync thing,” Schuman said.

After the performances, members of the crowd were able to enjoy the sweet tunes of Eugene’s own Pop Rocks. e admission for the lip sync challenge covered the performance fees. Refreshments and pizza were also provided for sale.

Community Engagement Coordinator Kristen Bartels plans to do this event again next year and is always looking for more participants. She urges members to set up a team and get involved with the lip sync battle by contacting her.

MIND THE GAP:

UO’S GENDER INCLUSIVE A CAPPELLA GROUP

e gender-inclusive UO a capella group, Mind the Gap, performs in Halloween costumes at the EMU on Oct. 26, 2018. (Madi Mather)

BY ALEXES JONES • TWITTER @ALEXESJONES7 A Friday afternoon in the Erb Memorial Union means a short line for Chipotle, the possibility of actually snagging a booth by the window — and a cappella. Every Friday at 3:45 p.m., the sound of blended voices can be heard across the ground floor of the EMU as Mind e Gap, the University of Oregon’s gender inclusive a cappella group, harmonizes today’s hits.

Prior to Mind the Gap’s formation in 2007, the UO contained one all-male group and one all-female group. e founders of Mind the Gap noticed that students who felt they did not identify with a certain gender did not feel comfortable singing for either group. ey created the group with the intention of giving students a space to

sing, regardless of gender. is past Friday, Oct. 26, group members lined the bottom of the first floor staircase decked out in various halloween costumes as they began their Halloweenthemed performance. e group sang hits such as “Toxic” by Britney Spears and “Higher Love” by Steve Winwood — all while showing off their individual dance moves.

With Halloween around the corner, Mind the Gap threw in a surprise twist for the audience when singing Portugal the Man’s “Feel It Still” by changing the lyrics from “rebel” to “zombie.”

Fourth-year student Danielle Field has been in Mind the Gap for three years and doubles as the group’s business manager. One of Field’s favorite things about Mind the Gap is the gender-inclusive

aspect. “We accept anyone and everyone. In other groups, you have to identify as a certain gender to join, and for us, we will just take you and love you and we would love to sing with you regardless of gender,” she said. ird-year member Andre Bunton appreciates the diversity of the group beyond gender too.

“I really appreciate the ability to be close to everyone in a group of various genders. Our group really prides itself on diversity both in gender inclusivity and also race.”

Madison Breuer, a second-year member and public relations manager, says that a cappella groups rarely consist of mixed genders due to vocal ranges and sound preferences, but a variety of genders gives Mind the Gap an opportunity to sing songs that

contain a wider range of notes.

Breuer added that singing with mixed genders has allowed for the group to connect in a special way beyond gender-specific things.

“Each and every one of us are so different. We are all our own little people that has so many different interests and talents, but we connect on our mutual love of singing.”

In addition to gearing up for weekly performances, Mind the Gap represents the UO at the International Championship of Collegiate A Cappella (ICCA); they have placed first three times in the last four years and the group will compete again in January. “ ere is no mold that you have to fit to be in Mind the Gap and that is the greatest thing about the group” said Fields.

FROM ART

TO ASSISTS

BY MAGGIE VANONI AND GABRIEL ORNELAS A Halloween-themed drawing illustrated by August Raskie. Raskie has been drawing since she was a child and continues to express herself through her drawing. (Courtesy of Tara Raskie)

Tara Raskie will always remember watching “Star Wars Episode I: e Phantom Menace,” — but not because of any lightsaber battle or any of Yoda’s words of wisdom.

After watching the movie as a family, the Raskies went to a restaurant for dinner. It didn’t take long before Tara’s youngest daughter, August, started doodling on a kids menu. But instead of the generic, random doodles of a typical 4-year-old, August drew a fairly accurate Jar Jar Binks.

It was at that moment that Tara realized the impressiveness of August’s creativity. “ at’s just a God-given talent,” Tara said. “Ever since then, she has just found that to be her outlet.”

On the volleyball court, Raskie is known for racking up assists — she leads the team with a season-high of 941 — and a left-handed power swing, yet you can’t help but notice the 6-foot setter’s spunky personality through her double-bun hairdo.

No matter where the sport has taken her, Raskie’s creativity has helped propel her to a standout career both as a Duck and on the U.S. Collegiate National Team.

An artist’s beginning In a family of painters and musicians, art gave Raskie a creative platform at an early age.

“It’s her outlet to express just her inner being of who she is,” Tara said.

“Volleyball is so public and in front of everybody. For August, her art is hers.

Nobody can dictate it. Nobody can judge it. She owns it.”

No matter if it was drawing, painting or any form in between, Raskie’s

passion for art strengthened as she got older. Tara still remembers finding her daughter’s drawings all over the house: under mattresses or in chalk on the bathroom floor.

“I think art is just a little bit more honest than other things,” Raskie said.

“It doesn’t have to make sense, but to those that it does, it resonates on such a deeper level like an internal level or an actual emotion level, and it just clicks. It’s so hard to explain but it does.”

Once introduced to volleyball, Raskie learned how to tame her spunky, creative sense into concentration on the court.

“It’s kinda hard though, because I am so passionate and because that’s an artist trait,” she said. ”I have to remember just to play at a zen level when we go onto the court and that it’s not the end of the world if we lose.”

Raskie sees the biggest example of this in her long, brown hair — which has become an iconic staple to the senior setter as it’s most commonly found pulled up in buns during matches.

“When you know where my hair is, you know where I’m at,” she said.

During home matches at Matthew Knight Arena, it’s common to find younger girls in the crowd sporting the two-bun hairstyle in support of Raskie, who said the look developed from a panda Halloween costume four years ago.

“My friends just started calling me panda queen,” Raskie said. “When I’m on the court, I don’t have a crown. So, I made the buns my crown. … I just want to empower young girls that you can be different and you can stand out and it’s OK.”

“I think her being artistic only helps her. On the court, it’s really important to have that creativity, to be able to manipulate the game in a different way or set in a creative way,” says August Raskie’s 2017 teammate Maggie Scott. “As a lefty setter, she can do plays that I can only dream of doing. From an attacking standpoint, she is just so special.” (Devin Roux)

The Rise of a Phoenix Raskie has cemented herself as Oregon’s main setter and among the nation’s best as she is No. 4 in assists leader in the nation. Raskie hasn’t always been in the national spotlight, and she didn’t consider a career in volleyball until age 14.

As a kid, Raskie always found herself pursuing whatever her older sister Sloan did. Sloan had a volleyball tryout one day, and Raskie happened to be watching her sister from the stands, which sparked her interest in the sport.

Raskie went to a volleyball tryout of her own at the age of 13 and joined the setter line only because it was the shortest line in the gym.

“I had no idea what I was getting myself into at the time,” Raskie said.

“Setters take charge on the court, they touch every ball and it’s a lot of communication.”

She propelled herself to the 42nd-best high school player in the country, according to prepvolleyball. com. Raskie then took her volleyball talent to Oregon, where she spent her first three years in the 5-2 offense

learning beside former Oregon setter Maggie Scott.

“She grew a lot in three years,” Scott said. “I think she really grew into her own and has really embraced a lot of the qualities that make her unique. … I am really proud of her and I’m really happy for her.”

Raskie’s first step into the spotlight started this past summer when she was selected to be part of the U.S. Collegiate National Team. She was put into a situation she’d never been in before by having to learn with players she’d never played with or met. Raskie became a sponge for knowledge, attempting to learn different systems and improve her game while keeping the mindset that she was there for business.

“August is a fantastic athlete and a great competitor,” head coach of the national team Dani Busboom Kelly said. “Some athletes make teams in the summer and are just happy to be there. It was clear to me August was taking advantage of every rep she was given.”

Raskie’s summer playing with the national team put her ahead of the curve and ready for a new season

under a new offensive approach. is year, the Ducks switched from a 5-2 offense to a 5-1 offense, giving her full range to show off her talents.

“August is really unique compared to every other setter, where she is so physical up at the net,” Oregon head coach Matt Ulmer said. “It’s just a really interesting dynamic. Most setters are blocking liabilities; she’s one of our best blockers. … ere’s just so many things that go unnoticed with her because she’s just so athletic that she can just pick up balls that are freak plays that she’ll just make better because of the things that she can do.”

Raskie’s abilities were on display as she returned home to Colorado on Oct. 12 for one last time as a Duck. In Oregon’s 3-1 win over Colorado, she notched a triple-double of 41 assists, 11 digs and 10 kills — a first for the Colorado Springs native and Oregon’s first player to do so since 2001. is breakout into the spotlight would not only earn her national attention, but comparisons to multiple mythical creatures.

“She’s a unicorn,” Ulmer said. “She’s really unique. ... She just plays the position differently than

everybody else.”

Teammates, both current and former, have referred to her along the same lines.

“Her being left-handed is definitely an advantage. No one is ever going to know when she’s hitting,” Junior middle blocker Ronika Stone said. “ at opens up a lot more of our hitters. … She’s like a wizard out there.”

Referring to Raskie as a “flying liger,” former setter Scott said Raskie is a mix of “the unique qualities of a liger with bird-like qualities, like a really majestic and unique bird.”

When asked what mythical creature she would be, Raskie said she’d pick a phoenix. Without any hesitation, and being over 600 miles away from her daughter, Tara said the same thing.

“I look at her probably more as a phoenix,” Tara said. “ e life that the three of us have had, the many times that it has burned, and she has just risen back from the ashes. It’s just amazing. at kid has been through a lot. Any time that she has been knocked down, she just gets right back up.”

August is a fantastic athlete and a great competitor. Some athletes make teams in the summer and are just happy to be there. It was clear to me August was taking advantage of every rep she was given.”

DANI BUSBOOM KELLY National team head coach Because of her ability to perform unlike anyone else, many people in Oregon volleyball setter August Raskie’s life have likened her to a mythical creature, such as a wizard, a phoenix, a unicorn and even a tiger with wings. “She’s unbelievably talented athletically,” said Oregon volleyball head coach Matt Ulmer. “She’s a unicorn. She’s really unique.” (Devin Roux)

e film “Support the Girls” uses a light tone to take on heavy social issues. (Photo courtesy of Magnolia Pictures)

“SUPPORT THE GIRLS” “Support the Girls,” directed by Andrew Bujalski, is an ensemble comedy about the women who work at a “sports bar with curves,” or a Hootersstyle restaurant. Regina Hall, in one of her best performances to date, stars as the hardworking manager who just wants to get through her day without incident and support her waitresses. is is a comedy so, of course, chaos ensues.

A delightful Haley Lu Richardson (“Columbus”),

Dylan Gelula and Shayna McHayle (better known as rapper Junglepussy) round out the cast in this relatable and humorous character study. Despite its comical tone, the film addresses weighty topics, such as gender inequality, race and sexual abuse in a subtle, uplifting fashion. Although the film was recently released, it has only played at select independent film festivals, so check it out for yourself on Amazon.

“AVENUE Q” Take some time this weekend to explore the harsh realities of post-college life. e University eatre is presenting a three-week show of “Avenue Q,” a musical comedy based on the realworld experiences of graduates after college. e play explores the difficulties with relationships and finding one’s true purpose. “Avenue Q” has some explicit language and adult themes.

And instead of seeing humans act all of this

out, it will be performed using puppets! e play is written by Robert Lopez and Jeff Marx, based on the book written by Jeff Whitty.

Zeina Salame is the production’s director. e show starts this weekend on Friday from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. at the Robinson eatre. Prices start at $10 for students, UO faculty/staff and senior citizens and they’re $12 for adults.

“FUDGE SANDWICH” — TY SEGALL Despite his prolific output, Ty Segall rarely dips in quality. “Fudge Sandwich” is the garage rocker’s third release this year, following a lengthy studio album in January and a collaboration with White Fence this summer. e artist chose to take on an eclectic mix of covers this time around, adding his signature fuzz-filled psychedelia to the likes of John Lennon and Funkadelic. e album’s opener, a fever-dream version of

War’s 1975 hit “Low Rider,” essentially melts over the analog tape. On a cover of the Grateful Dead classic “St. Stephen,” Segall pushes the tempo to an overdriven, punk velocity. Like his album of T. Rex covers a few years back, this new collection of tracks is just an excuse for the artist to put his own spin on some of his favorite songs and pay homage to his influences. But even if Segall is just messing around, “Fudge Sandwich” does not disappoint.

JUUL TARGETS YOUTH

THROUGH SOCIAL MEDIA AND SLEEK DESIGN

BY ANDREW STEVENS • TWITTER @VNDREWWS

An anonymous subject blows out vapor. Last month, the Food and Drug Administration said vaping among teens has reached “an epidemic proportion.” (Sarah Northrop)

M O N D AY, O C T O B E R 2 9 , 2 0 1 8

I’ve gotten used to smelling Juul smoke in my 9 a.m. lecture. It’s rare if I don’t see puffs of smoke periodically floating overhead in class. is is a clear sign that the Juul has become ubiquitous among students.

Some kids begin Juuling as early as middle school, and last month, the FDA said that among teens, vaping has reached “an epidemic proportion.” e CDC reported that over two million middle and high schoolers use e-cigarettes every day. is rise in underage vaping can be blamed almost solely on the Juul. e FDA and parents alike have voiced their concern, but the issue goes deeper than the dangers of underage vaping. e Juul has become part of my generation’s identity, and if things don’t change soon, it may never leave.

A Juul may be a vaping device, but its widespread use has evolved into a staple of youth culture in America. Kids who would never have smoked cigarettes are starting to Juul because of the relative absence of a social taboo compared to tobacco.

Until the Juul is treated as something more than just a vape or e-cigarette, attempts to reduce its use will fail. e Juul has penetrated every corner of social media, from Instagram and Twitter to Soundcloud and Spotify. Celebrities and social media influencers can be seen with the Juul nonchalantly in hand all the time.

Kids who have access to technology are getting exposed to the Juul especially early. ere’s not a stigma around Juuling like there is around smoking, and many parents aren’t clued into the Juul’s existence, so it’s easy for kids to get hooked early. e explosion of Juul use and its prolific social media presence are evidence that it’s not just the addictive properties of nicotine that make the Juul so successful. ere are many other e-cigarettes and vaping devices on the market, but somehow the Juul rose above them all. By looking like a thumb drive and being chargeable on the computer, the Juul fits well into the average student’s backpack.

Of course, the nicotine is a major factor

as well. Each Juul pod contains as much nicotine as an entire pack of cigarettes.

Being exposed to such high levels of nicotine at a young age can lead to longterm addiction, as well as other health problems including stunted growth. But these risks are easily glossed over by people touting that the Juul is healthier than cigarettes.

It’s easy for teens to rationalize vaping over smoking because of the lack of information about it. No long-term studies have been done on the health effects of vaping, so it’s presented as a risk-free alternative. e bottom line is that inhaling any kind of chemical isn’t good for you, even if the consequences aren’t defined yet.

Youth will always find ways to rebel, but the problem is that now we are constantly connected to social media and technology — two things that coexist perfectly in the Juul. e combination of sleek futuristic design and social media presence make it a perfect badge of hip rebellion.

Cigarettes used to be the go-to for rebellious teenagers, but according to the CDC, teenage smoking is at an all-time low at just below 16 percent. Kids may not be smoking cigarettes, but they’re vaping.

Vaping is a little too broad though, as Juul makes up 72 percent of the e-cigarette market. It would be more accurate to say kids are Juuling. No other nicotine product in recent memory has had the impact Juul has.

Anti-smoking ads targeted directly at the Juul have already started popping up, but that won’t be enough. e Juul is so integrated in our culture that change must come from the inside. Social media influencers and the role models of our youth need to be more cognizant of their platform and take the opportunity to fight underage nicotine use.

It is also the responsibility of Pax Labs, the company that makes the Juul, to make it less appealing to kids.

Getting teenagers unaddicted to nicotine is a lofty goal, but it’s one worth working toward. ere is no one-step solution, and underage nicotine use will likely never completely disappear, but those aren’t reasons not to try.

THIS I BELIEVE: OUR WORLD ISN’T AS HORRIBLE AS IT SEEMS

BY SAMUEL ANTHONY We live in a country with problems. School shootings, global warming, political polarization and human rights violations are only a handful of the issues that we face. e news is littered with stories of violence and tragedy every day. As they say, if it bleeds it leads. With all of this tragedy being shown to us 24 hours a day, it’s easy to start to see the world as a horrible place.

But I believe this world isn’t as horrible as it seems, and we must not forget all of the good we do as a society. I want to give a respite to the endless cycle of stories on what’s wrong with the world, and instead, acknowledge what we do to make it better.

In 2017 alone, the U.S. spent over $45 billion in foreign aid. Almost $10 billion was spent on improving

healthcare in foreign countries for those in poverty, providing services such as vaccines and life-saving medical operations. An additional $8 billion went to helping with humanitarian problems, such as a lack of clean drinking water, food and shelter. Along with that, over $4.5 billion was spent to better the education and economic development of foreign countries so that the children there might have a better future.

In addition to the tax dollars we provide to make this assistance possible, many people also dedicate their time and labor to help foreign citizens lead better and happier lives.

Nonprofit foundations provide safe living environments for many of those in poverty around the world, such as the 800,000 homes Habitat

for Humanity has built. Others, such as Doctors Without Borders, help to ensure that in over 70 other countries, people who don’t have access to healthcare are able to get the treatments they need to survive.

Money speaks, and people in the U.S. donated over $400 billion to charity in 2017. Of that, $80 billion went to human services and societal charities to help those in need, $59 billion went to support education and $23 billion went to help those in poverty in foreign countries.

What makes me believe this world is great isn’t just the large single contributions; few have the ability to donate huge sums of money on their own. It’s the combination of all the little things each person does on a daily basis that creates a wave of generosity that makes a real impact.

Most of us probably remember those 2000s commercials in which they give an example of a random act of kindness and say, “Pass it on.” It’s that mentality — one of selflessness and passing on kindness to random strangers — that makes a real impact on the world through each individual in a never-ending cycle.

Working as a cashier, I saw and dealt with a lot of bad situations and difficult people over the summer, but those aren’t the interactions that stuck with me. e memories that stand out most are random acts of kindness like people paying for random strangers’ groceries in line who came up short, buying homeless people lunch and donating hundreds of dollars to local food banks to help feed those who are in need.

SPORTS STAGNANT OREGON OFFENSE LEADS TO

44-15 LOSS AT ARIZONA

BY MAVERICK PALLACK • TWITTER @MAVPALLACK

One week after a disappointing first half against Washington State led to an insurmountable deficit, the No. 19 Oregon Ducks lost their second straight game in which they were overmatched, this time to unranked Arizona 44-15. e upset comes after Arizona played one of its most complete games of the season, but the Ducks did not do themselves any favors either. Outside of the seven three and outs (including its first three possessions), Oregon turned it over on downs and committed four turnovers, two on special teams, which gave the Wildcats great field position. e Wildcats outgained the Ducks by 195 yards thanks to the 276 Arizona rushing yards. e Wildcats were also 6-for-6 in the red zone, while the Ducks only managed two red zone trips in the game.

Although the Ducks defense was not perfect, the offense failed to move the ball at all. Nine Oregon drives ended with a punt. e previous season high was five against Bowling Green and San José State.

Quarterback Justin Herbert completed just 50 percent of his passes. He finished 24-for-48 with 186 yards, two touchdowns and one interception. Wide receiver Dillon Mitchell led Oregon with 69 yards on six receptions and one touchdown, but left the game with an injury. Second in receiving was Jaylon Redd with a career-high six receptions for just 33 yards. e Ducks defense was put in several tough positions. Travis Dye fumbled with five minutes left in the first quarter, leading to Arizona recovering on the Oregon 21-yard line, and a blocked Tom Snee punt was returned to the 6-yard line with 12 minutes left in the second. However, they were able to hold the Wildcats to field goals on both drives, which kept the game close.

When the game was leaning toward a blowout with six minutes left in the third quarter, Arizona got another turnover after punter Dylan Klumph’s punt hit Oregon defensive back Charles Sudduth and the Wildcats recovered it.

e Ducks were able to make it a one-score game with nine minutes left in the first half. Quarterback Justin Herbert hit a wide open Dillon Mitchell, who shook a defender and followed a block for a 29-yard touchdown. e other Oregon touchdown came late in the fourth quarter. Wide receiver Brenden Schooler caught a 7-yard touchdown in the back of the end zone to make it 37-15 with 9:17 left in the game.

Defensively, the Ducks could not stop Arizona quarterback Khalil Tate or running back JJ Taylor.

Tate went 19-for-33 for 189 yards, three touchdowns and an interception while Taylor rushed for 212 yards and two touchdowns. Shun Brown (10 receptions for 96 yards and a touchdown) and Shawn Poindexter (two receptions for 30 yards and two touchdowns) also caused problems in the secondary.

Oregon’s next game will be at home on Saturday, Nov. 3, at 4:30 p.m. against Chip Kelly and UCLA.

Q SPORTS OREGON SNAPS 8-GAME LOSING STREAK

BY BRYCE DOLE

Oregon Ducks forward Bayley Bruner (12) filled the shoes of an injured Marissa Everett and made the game-winning shot against the Arizona Wildcats at Papé Field in Eugene, Oregon on Oct. 28, 2018.

(Devin Roux)

Moments before Oregon (7-9-1, 1-7-0 Pac-12) women’s soccer match versus the Arizona Wildcats (11-5-2, 4-4-2 Pac-12) on Sunday at Papé Field, the morning rain turned to a light drizzle, the sun gleamed through a break in the ominous clouds and a rainbow stretched across the sky.

An Oregon fan sitting near the top of the stands yelled over the sounds of the Oregon Marching Band, pointed to the rainbow and said, “Maybe this is a sign. I think this could be the one.”

After 94 scoreless minutes, senior forward Baylee Bruner delivered the golden right-footed strike off an assist from junior midfielder Emma Eddy, which spun its way to the top righthand corner of the goal to end the Ducks’ eight-game losing streak with a 1-0 victory in overtime.

“I just saw an opening near the post, and Emma laid it off perfectly,” Bruner said. “After a losing streak, the hard times make the good times sweeter.”

After her game-winning goal, Bruner was tackled into a dogpile by her laughing, cheering teammates.

“I feel like a big cloud has lifted because we struggled getting results in the Pac-12, especially on Sunday games,” redshirt senior goalkeeper Halla Hinriksdottir said.

Hinriksdottir tied her career-high of seven saves and passed the 200 career-save mark with her parents in the audience, who flew all the way from Iceland to see her play her final games as a Duck. e Wildcats dominated possession early on, pressuring the Ducks defense with a shot-on-goal by Arizona sophomore forward Hannah Clifford, which went just wide to the left within the first minute of play.

e offensive press shifted to the Ducks after their slow start, with two shots from freshman forward Zoe Hasenauer 14 and 16 minutes into the game.

Hasenauer’s first shot was tipped just over the bar by Arizona senior goalkeeper Lainey Burdett, and the second slid about a foot wide to the right of the goal post delivered from point-blank range. e two shots by Hasenauer were the best opportunities for the Ducks, and the game remained scoreless at the half.

Arizona dominated the game in shots in the second half with six to Oregon’s four, but again, neither team was able to capitalize, and the match went to overtime.

For head coach Kat Mertz, the team’s gritty mentality became the key late in the game.

“Everybody had a piece of this one, and that’s the most important thing,” Mertz said.

Mertz said Bruner has had a lot of pressure on her shoulders in the absence of Oregon’s high-scoring senior Marissa Everett, who missed five games with a hamstring injury, but came off the bench at the 26th minute for the most playing time she has seen since her return to play on ursday versus Arizona State.

“As a forward, sometimes you feel the responsibility that we have to score,” Mertz said of Bruner.

“For her to not give up, be resilient and be in the position for Emma, that’s awesome. at’s trusting your teammates. I’m so proud of her.” e Ducks’ final game of the season will be at home against the Oregon State Beavers at 6 p.m. on Friday.
