Emerald Quick Hits: Oregon drops to No. 12 after Arizona loss

But after the colossal 24-31 loss at home against an unranked Arizona team, Oregon’s vote count suffered a decrease of 517, and now Oregon is ranked No. 12 — two behind, now, No. 10 Arizona.

-After a 3-1 loss against No. 1 Stanford, No. 11 Oregon responded against Cal sweeping the Bears in three sets. Maggie Scott and Liz Brenner led the Duck’s attack. Scott finished with 29 assists and Brenner with 15 kills and 10 digs — her ninth double-double of the season. Martenne Bettendorf was also in the action with 15 kills of her own.

-The Oregon women’s soccer team suffered a tough trip to the desert this weekend. On Friday the Ducks tied Arizona State 1-1 when the Sun Devils finally tied the game in the 87th minute. Oregon’s Kelsey Foo converted a penalty kick in the 71st minute for Oregon’s only score of the game. In their matchup against the Wildcats Oregon couldn’t come up with a goal to tie Arizona in their 1-0 loss. The lone goal of the game came 39 seconds after the opening whistle.

-Oregon Cross Country had six runners finish in the top 15 as the No. 3 Oregon Women’s team outran No. 4 Stanford to win the Washington Invitational 48-55 at Jefferson Park in Seattle, Washington. Senior Lindsay Crevoiserat finished fourth-place in the race to lead the Ducks.

-The Pac-12 conference now has five teams ranked in the College Football AP Top 25. Previously unranked Arizona leads the Pac at No. 10. No 12 Oregon and No. 18 UCLA are the next top ranked teams, and both teams are going to play each other next Saturday at the Rose Bowl. No. 20 Arizona State, No. 24 Utah and No. 25 Stanford are the remaining Pac-12 schools ranked.
