Fittingly, the very first missed shot of Monday’s matinee between Oregon and UCLA was corralled by the long arms of athletic UO sophomore Jillian Alleyne. Fitting because, with that rebound, Alleyne became both the school and Pac-12 Conference single-season record holder. She ended the evening with 12 rebounds for the game, and 388 for the season, breaking Bev Smith’s 33-year-old UO record and former Stanford post Nnemkadi Ogwumike’s conference record of 376, and still with at least five games left to play this season. The record provided a silver lining to the Ducks’ latest defeat, a 103-83 setback to the Bruins that was Oregon’s third straight loss.

Michael Conforto drove in three runs and Jake Thompson tossed seven scoreless innings in his collegiate debut to pace the second-ranked Oregon State baseball team to a 7-0 win over Pacific Monday at Tempe Diablo Stadium. Conforto drove in runs in the third, sixth and seventh innings via a triple, walk and single, respectively. His first two RBI gave Thompson breathing room as the Beavers took a 2-0 lead into the seventh. OSU, however, broke the game open with five-run seventh. Thompson’s first collegiate game saw the right-hander strike out three while allowing three hits and two walks. The freshman retired 10 of his last 11 batters faced after allowing a single and a walk to open the fourth inning. He got the win and is 1-0. The Beavers (4-0 overall), who stranded 11 runners through the first six innings, pushed ahead with the five-run seventh that was highlight by a Jeff Hendrix single that drove in two. Trever Morrison and Andy Peterson, in addition to Conforto’s single, also drove in runs via a walk and groundout, respectively.

Oregon scored six runs in the eighth inning to break open a close game and give the Ducks a 10-2 win over Hawaii on Monday at Les Murakami Stadium. The win was the 900th of George Horton’s head coaching career. Scott Heineman and Tyler Baumgartner both had three hits to lead Oregon’s 10-hit attack. Heineman, who entered the game without a hit in the series, went 3-for-5 with three runs scored. Baumgartner was 3-for-4 with a RBI and three runs scored. Mitchell Tolman drove in a pair of runs while going 1-for-4. Senior Jeff Gold picked up the win allowing just one run on five hits in six innings.
