Quarterback Sean Mannion threw two second-half touchdown passes and Michael Doctor returned an interception 35 yards for the clinching score as Oregon State upended No. 6 Arizona State 35-27 at Reser Stadium. It was OSU’s (5-5, 2-5 Pac-12) first victory over a ranked team since a 27-20 win over UCLA at the Rose Bowl on Sept. 22, 2012. OSU’s last win over a top-10 team was a 29-27 upset of No. 9 Arizona on Oct. 9, 2010; its last home win over a top-10 team was a 27-21 victory over No. 1 USC on Sept. 25, 2008.

In a heart-pound match in the desert, the No. 10 Oregon volleyball team defeated No. 19 Arizona State in five sets, Saturday, 21-25, 32-30, 26-24, 24-26, 15-13. How it Happened: Both teams were on their game defensively, especially Oregon (19-7, 9-7 Pac-12) which finished with 111 digs, the second-most in a Pac-12 match this season. That defense made for long rallies throughout the entirety of the match, only adding the five-set dramatics. While the defensive effort was spearheaded by libero Amanda Benson, who finished with a season-high 28 digs, many Ducks contributed as five ended the night in double-digit digs.
