Newspaper Page TextPage 2B SPORTS East Oregonian Saturday, November 3, 2018 Chip Kelly returns to Eugene with UCLA to face Ducks By ANNE M. PETERSON AP Sports Writer EUGENE — Coach Chip Kelly won’t be strolling down memory lane on Satur- day when UCLA pays a visit to Oregon. “No, we’ve gotta focus on the team across the other sideline or we’ll go get beat,” Kelly said. “It’ll be an unbe- lievable experience. It’s a special stadium, a special fan base, but we better have our focus and concentration on the 2018 Ducks, not wor- ried about what went on from 2009 to 2012.” Boy, have things changed since he left Eugene. The Ducks were riding high when Kelly bolted for the NFL. Oregon had just wrapped up the 2012 sea- son in the Fiesta Bowl for its fourth straight BCS Bowl appearance, a string that also included a national champi- onship game. During his time at Ore- gon, first as the offensive coordinator and then as head coach, Kelly was lauded as the architect of the Ducks’ up-tempo “blur offense.” Now in Kelly’s first sea- son in Westwood, the Bru- ins (2-6, 2-3 Pac-12) sit at the bottom of the Pac-12 South standings but are still in the mix because no division team has separated itself by much. Oregon is on its third coach since Kelly’s depar- ture. The Ducks let go of Mark Helfrich following the 2016 season, then Willie Tag- gart stopped by for less than a year en route to Florida State, and now Mario Cristobal leads the Ducks. Oregon (5-3, 2-3) has struggled with two straight losses after a 5-1 start pushed the Ducks as high as No. 12 in the AP rankings. The latest was a 44-15 drubbing on the road in Arizona. “Certain things have to DUCK FOOTBALL UCLA Bruins (2-6, 2-3) Oregon Ducks (5-3, 2-3) Saturday, 4:30 p.m., at Autzen Stadium, Eugene TV: FOX improve and those things have been assessed, they have been addressed and practice is structured to be able to improve at those par- ticular areas. That’s the only way we know,” Cristobal said. “I think our guys under- stand also is we’ve got eight seniors on this team, we’ve got a young football team and when you hit adversity like this, especially when a good brunt of it is self-induced, you’ve got to buckle down AP Photo/Mark J. Terrill,File In this Oct. 20, 2018 file photo, UCLA head coach Chip Kelly gestures during the first half of an NCAA college football game against Arizona in Pasadena, Calif. and you’ve got to really set your focus on the things that we must get better at. There’s no magic solution or potion or whatnot. It requires really, really getting ingrained into what you have to do to get better.” UCLA is coming off a 41-10 loss at the Rose Bowl to Utah. For the record, Kelly went 46-7 as head coach of the Ducks, including a 26-2 mark at Autzen Stadium. Other things to know: Herbert’s status: Ore- gon’s Justin Herbert returned to practice Wednesday after he cleared concussion proto- col. The junior quarterback was under observation after a hard hit in the second half of the Arizona loss. He was not yet formally named starter for Saturday’s game. He has thrown for 2,069 yards and 20 touchdowns with six interceptions on the season. Receiver Dillon Mitch- ell, who also was being mon- itored for a concussion, had not returned to practice by Wednesday. He’s got 48 catches for 677 yards and four touchdowns for the Ducks this season. History: The Ducks have won five straight against the Bruins in Eugene, but UCLA hasn’t played at Autzen since 2013, when Marcus Mari- ota was Oregon’s quarter- back. The last two meetings have been at the Rose Bowl, including last season’s 31-14 UCLA victory. Prep volleyball playoffs Weston-McEwen drops opening match at state to Portland Christian By ANNIE FOWLER East Oregonian Weston-McEwen dropped its first match at the 2A state volley- ball tournament Friday, sending the TigerScots into the consola- tion half of the bracket. Portland Christian held off W-M 25-11, 23-25, 25-21, 15-25, 15-9 to advance to the semifinals at Ridgeview High School in Redmond. “We fought hard, but didn’t quite get it,” W-M coach Shawn White said. “We came out with a few nerves, and they came out on fire. They are a good team.” The teams traded sets until the fifth, where the Royals put the match away. “I was super happy with how we battled back,” White said. “I’m really, really pleased with the young ladies today.” Hailey Weaver led the Tiger- Scots at the net with 12 kills and four blocks, while Jesse Man- ning had 10 kills and 14 digs, and Ellie Scheibner 10 assists and six digs. Bryce Thul added 22 assists, 11 digs, six kills and seven ace serves, while Tyree Burke had five kills and was 17 of 17 from the service line with four aces. Keree Graves chipped in with nine digs and three kills, while Emma Olson had 15 digs and three aces, Trinity Hearn was 14 of 16 serving with three aces, and Carrie Hazen was 18 of 19 from the line with four aces. “We had everyone contrib- BUCKS: ‘When we do our job, we can stop anyone’ MLS SOCCER After knockout chaos, teams set for conference semifinals Continued from 1B the second they put together an eight-play, 52-yard drive that ended with Trent Sorey hitting Camp for a 16-yard touchdown. Alex Rendon converted the PAT for a 14-0 lead with 2:27 left in the opening quarter. CV took to the air in the second quarter with a bit of success. Sawyer Cleveland con- nected with Ben Leid for a 25-yard gain to the Bucks’ 33-yard line. The Raid- ers moved the ball to the 1-yard line, but a bad snap put them back at the 21. A pass interference call against the Bucks put the ball at the 10, and Cameron Sanders moved the ball back to the 1 with a 9-yard carry. Sanders bulled his way into the end zone on the next play to cut the lead to 14-7 with 9:39 to play in the second. Pendleton failed to pick up the ball on the ensuing kickoff, and the Raiders recovered at their own 32. On the first play from scrimmage, Patterson picked off Cleveland’s pass and returned the ball 65 yards for a touchdown and a 21-7 lead. With just 1:06 left in the ute,” White said. “Serving is one of our big weapons. We only missed 10 in five sets.” The TigerScots will play Glide at 10 a.m. Saturday in a loser-out match. The best W-M can finish is fourth. “Glide has a great big mid- dle (6-foot-2 Jordan Williams),” White said. “We will deal with that tomorrow.” Associated Press Staff photo by E.J.

This time, Camp picked up the ball at the 15 and ran it in for a touch- down. Rendon’s kick hit the left upright, giving the Bucks a 27-7 lead. “We worked hard all week in practice and it showed tonight,” Camp said. “When we do our job, we can stop anyone.” Neither team was able to move the ball with any effi- ciency in the second half. The Bucks’ lone scoring threat came late in the third when they had the ball on the CV 1-yard line. On sec- ond-and-goal, Sorey tried to hit Camp with a short pass, only to have it picked off by Cleveland. The Raiders would tack on a 17-yard touch- down pass from Cleve- land to Walker Riney with 3:34 to play in the game to pull within 27-14, but it wouldn’t be enough.

All of the first-leg matches will be played this Sunday, with the second-leg games set for next week. 1. SEATTLE SOUND- ERS vs. (5) PORTLAND TIMBERS The Sounders got to rest in the knockout round after wrapping up the regular season with a 2-1 victory over the San Jose Earth- quakes. The win, secured on a Raul Ruidiaz stop- page-time goal, combined with Colorado’s Deci- sion Day victory over FC Dallas, slid the Sounders into second place in the standings. The Sounders won 14 of their final 16 games in another remarkable sec- ond-half surge under coach Brian Schmetzer. Portland lost its final regular-season match against the Whitecaps and had the daunting task of facing FC Dallas on the road in the knockout stage. But the Timbers pulled off a 2-1 upset with a pair of goals from Diego Valeri, despite playing for much of the second half a man down. The victory set up the Cascadia semifinal between the two teams, who last met in the 2013 conference finals with Portland winning 5-3 on aggregate. The two teams met three times during the regular season, but Seattle won the last one 1-0 at Providence Park. Portland will be with- out Larrys Mabiala after he was sent off with a red card in the match against Dallas. Atlanta United will play NYCFC, Kanas City will play Salt Lake City and New York Red Bulls will play Colum- bus Crew.
