Page 2B SPORTS East Oregonian Thursday, October 13, 2016 PENDLETON GREB: Prep Roundup Timberwolves implode on the road Grizzlies Continued from 1B exciting.” Greb said getting the chance to play for Young, who is in her fourth season at CSU, was really the thing that sealed the deal for her. “Deinitely the coach, she had a huge impact on me. Basically she under- stood my goals and what I want to achieve in golf, and she was ready to help me achieve them,” she said. “They have all the tools at Colorado State. I think they have a great golf program, great facilities. I’ve went down and visited already twice now, I can’t wait. It’s going to be fun.” Young oversaw several record-breaking individual and team performances during the 2015-16 season, and the Rams were back at it this past weekend when they shot the program’s sixth- best three-round score ever with an 875 to inish ifth at the Ron Moore Women’s Intercollegiate tournament in Littleton, Colo. Greb said the Rocky Mountain air does add a little extra length off the tee. “Deinitely! I get a little bit more, like 20 yards,” she said. “So I’m not sure if I just feel stronger, or no, it’s gotta be the elevation.” Greb said she’s consid- ering a major in business, and has been intrigued by CSU’s sports management minor program, but ulti- mately she just can’t wait to hit the links as a Ram. “I’m ready to play golf,” she said. “I know I’ve got to go to school too, but I’m more like, ‘Let’s play golf.’ That was my goal in golf.” Before she can begin her collegiate career, however, Greb still has to inish up at Pendleton where she’s also a standout for the varsity volleyball and basketball squads. She has placed at the state golf meet each year of her high school career, taking ifth as a freshman and third as a sophomore before tying for second last season. ——— Contact Matt Entrup at mentrup@eastoregonian. com or (541) 966-0838.

CHAMBERLIN: Induction ceremony is Saturday Continued from 1B records in 93-94 with 671 points on 24 per game, averages that remain on top of the Raider record books. She averaged more than 22 points per game for her career. Chamberlin has ive of the top-six spots on SOU’s single-game scoring list, including a 51-point display against Humboldt State on Dec. 14, 1993 that is also a Cascade Confer- ence record. As an All-CCC pick in 92-93, she helped the Raiders to their irst conference title at 20-7 overall and 8-2 in the circuit. In her senior season, Chamberlin became SOU’s irst-ever Cascade Collegiate Conference Player of the Year selection and was picked as a second-team NAIA All-American. An induction ceremony will be held on Saturday morning at the SOU campus, and later that evening the inductees will be recognized at halftime of SOU’s football game against Eastern Oregon at 6 p.m. at Raider Stadium. NEW ROLES: Utah’s Hansen a top safety in Pac-12 Continued from 1B season, coach Gary Andersen’s irst with the Beavers. Fast and athletic, Collins turned heads when he actually hurdled a defender in a game against Weber State. Collins would go on to start seven total games. He threw for 936 yards and six touchdowns, while also rushing for 580 yards and eight scores. Sidelined by injury for four games, he returned in the Civil War, lining up at running back, receiver and quarterback. In adjusting to his new multidimensional role this season, Collins has caught 24 passes for 268 yards, averaging 11.2 yards a reception. Last week Andersen said that senior team captain Sean Harlow had pointed to Collins’ passion during a team address. “In life, I love the word ‘edgy,”’ Andersen said about Collins. “I want to be around people that they might make you a little bit nervous. That’s good. I love it. That’s where you want to live, and there’s nothing wrong with that, because you know that they’re going to compete at whatever they’re doing.” Oregon State, coming off its irst conference win under Andersen last weekend against Cal, hosts Utah on Saturday. Collins will see another former QB, Utes safety Chase Hansen, across the sidelines. A look at some of those former Pac-12 QBs — who actually played in a college game at the position — with new jobs. CHASE HANSEN, Utah: Now a sophomore, Hansen was oficially third on the Utes’ depth chart last season behind Travis Wilson and Kendal Thompson. A 6-foot-3 dual threat, he saw a handful of oppor- tunities at QB. Part way through the season he was moved to safety by coach Kyle Whittingham, who said it was just temporary. But Hansen did well in the new role. He started against Washington, where he had a career-high 11 tackles, a forced fumble and a pass breakup. A lower leg injury cut his season short. This season, he’s all-in at safety. “He’s playing as good as any safety in the conference,” Whittingham said. “He’s all over the place. He’s a big-play guy. He’s stripping the ball, he’s recovering fumbles. He’s doing a great job in coverage. He’s physical. He’s a great tackler. He’s exceeding my expectations. I believed he was going to be very good. But I didn’t know he’d be this good this quickly.” LUKE RUBENZER, California: Rubenzer competed with Jared Goff his freshman year and the latter obviously won that battle, although Rubenzer threw for a pair of touchdowns and also saw some time at running back. Injuries to the defense prompted a move to safety when he was a sophomore and he recorded 43 tackles and two interceptions. This season, Rubenzer became a starter following the loss of sophomore safety Evan Rambo, who is out for the season with a torn ACL. He has 34 tackles, including 26 solo, an interception and two fumble recoveries. DALLAS LLOYD, Stanford: Like many of the other converted quarterbacks, Lloyd saw his chances at playing time diminish with the rise of another QB, in this case, Kevin Hogan. After spot duty at quarterback in 2013 (he never threw a pass), Lloyd began his transition to the secondary his junior year. Now, as a ifth-year senior, he’s one of the team’s leaders on defense. He’s had two interceptions this season to go with 23 tackles. JEFF LOCKE and TAYLOR ALIE, Oregon: Lockie was the backup to quarterback Marcus Mariota and many igured he’d become the starter when the Heisman Trophy winner went to the NFL. But Oregon brought in graduate transfer Vernon Adams from Eastern Washington last season. Adams’ inger injury prompted Oregon to look at both Lockie and Alie, but both struggled with consis- tency. All three QBs played in a loss at home to Washington State last season. The Ducks brought in another graduate transfer in advance of this season, Dakota Prukop, and Lockie and Allie were moved to receiver in the spring. Interestingly, freshman quarter- back Justin Herbert, who started last weekend in Oregon’s 70-21 loss to Washington, credited Lockie and Alie for their guidance in the days leading up to his debut. ——— AP Sports Writer Kareem Cope- land in Utah contributed to this report. stack up sweeps East Oregonian HELIX — Led by the serving of Ari Krol, Lucy Case and Lynne Roberts, the Helix volleyball swept Nixy- aawii 25-7, 25-5, 25-2 on Wednesday in Old Oregon League action. The Grizzlies were coming off a nonleague win in three sets over Ione on Tuesday with scores of 25-23, 25-13, 27-25. Leading the way for the Grizzlies (16-8, 6-5 OOL) against Ione was Kailey Mize with 12 kills and Sadie Wilson with nine. Krol was a perfect 19-for-19 on serves, Charmayne Bennett set a team-high 34 assists, and Macey Tullis chipped in another 25 assists. Statistics for Ione (7-13) were not available. IRRIGON 3, UMATILLA 0 — At Umatilla, the Knights moved up to third in the Eastern Oregon League with a sweep of the Vikings by scores of 25-13, 25-21, 25-13 on Tuesday. Emma Combes led Irrigon (15-10, 4-3 EOL) with nine kills, and McKenzee Wilson and Mya Chapman added four each. Taylor Davis had seven blocks and six digs, and Chapman led them with 11 assists. Michaela Ruchert served up three aces. Statistics for Umatilla were not available. “The girls came together and played very well (Tuesday),” said Irrigon coach Laura Combes. “Our serving was fantastic with only two missed serves out of our three sets. We have been practicing our defense positioning a lot and it has paid off. Umatilla played great defensively.” Irrigon can clinch its irst-ever district tournament appearance this weekend and closes out the regular season with games on Friday and Saturday.
