The gap between No. 12 and No. 1 is big
In the first sold-out Matthew Knight Arena in Oregon volleyball history, the Ducks got swept. Even though Oregon had been beating good teams all season, Nebraska was another level of competition. The Cornhuskers have only conceded six sets all season, so just winning one set would have been a solid feat. Unfortunately, there is a big difference between the best team in the country and No. 12.

South Coast runners win state titles
EUGENE — South Coast runners won four individual titles and brought home three team trophies from the state cross country meet in Eugene on Saturday. Bandon’s Jael Legutki and Beckett Pahls both won individual titles in the Class 2A-1A division and Coquille’s Ella Henthorn was a repeat champion. Henry Stone of Siuslaw won the Class 3A boys title and led the Vikings to another team title. Henthorn had a fabulous race in the new Class 3A division — this is the first year it has been separated from Class 2A-1A for girls. Her winning time of 17:43 was the fastest ever by a girl from any division under Class 5A. Corbett freshman Claire Horton was second with her own impressive time (18:00), followed by three runners who led Oregon Episcopal to the team title. Henthorn ran with the lead the entire race. “I’m just really happy with that time,” she said. “The time that I got was great. I was planning on going out, running my own race, not getting in my head.” Henthorn came in with confidence from her third-place finish at the Rose City Classic in Portland, where she was edged out at the line by South Eugene’s

Yamada Vending Co. brings Japanese snacks, toys to new Eugene spot
Eugene has a self-guided slice of Japan that might fly under the radar. The space, where cherry blossoms are always in bloom and navigational signs for high-speed trains adorn the walls, is tucked into a strip of shops, but soon, Yamada Vending Co. will relocate to a larger space, bringing its vibrant atmosphere to a new part of the city. Yamada Vending Co. is a Japanese-style vending shop filled with machines offering Japanese snacks, drinks, toys and merchandise. After about two years at 570 Lawrence St., the business is moving to North Eugene. Owner Eimi Yamada called opening and operating the staff-free space “an adventure” that brings something different to the Eugene community. She’s a Japanese citizen who grew up making regular trips to Japan. Bringing a slice of life from across the Pacific has given her the opportunity to provide some of that experience to Eugeneans. Folks can find items like milk tea and ramen alongside Studio Ghibli-themed stationery, Gachapon toy dispensers and creations from local Japanese artists, all inside self-serve vending machines. The new location's larger footprint makes room for new vending machines, such as one that will carry Japanese beauty products, and will include a room dedicated

A look at Oregon’s path forward
To the Oregon fans who stopped watching after the third loss of the season: it’s time to tune back in. It seems like every year, the Ducks win a massive game over a higher-ranked opponent. Last season, the Ducks stole a double-overtime road win against No. 3 Penn State. The year before, Oregon took down No. 2 Ohio State mid-season. While Oregon wasn’t in a playoff-hopeful position this season, they got their big win. This time it felt more like a lifeline. The question now is: are the Ducks back, or is it too late?

Atmospheric river to bring wind, rain this weekend
Northwest Oregon is forecast to receive an autumn atmospheric river Nov. 13 and 14 that is expected to bring heavy rain and high winds. The storm is forecast to be relatively mild in the Eugene area compared to other parts of the region, particularly the coast, but the NWS still warned of potential wind and rain impacts.

In Eugene, wind gusts are forecast to reach 28 mph on Nov. 13 and 23 mph on Nov. 14. NWS predicts Eugene winds have a 16% chance of reaching 45 mph on Nov. 13 and 11% on Nov. 14. Wind speeds that high would be enough to knock over trees and cause power outages. The windiest period in Eugene will be Friday afternoon from 1 to 3 p.m. NWS also warned rain could be heavy enough to cause local flooding in small creeks and streams, roadways and low-lying areas. On Monday, Nov. 9, no rivers were forecast to flood. Eugene could see 0.67 inches of rain on Nov. 13 and 0.65 inches of rain on Nov. 14. Rain

No. 12 Oregon completes Gentlemen’s Sweep of Northwestern on Senior Night
It’s always nice to win on Senior Night. Oregon bounced right back after a tough game against Nebraska and bounded past Northwestern to get back in the win column.

Despite some glaring issues on the attack, as Oregon racked up a total of 23 attack errors and 12 service errors, the Ducks snagged their 20th win of the season.
