MBB PREVIEW: Oregon concludes the regular season against the mountain schools

By Cuinn Huber

The University of Oregon men's basketball team is set to face the Rocky Mountain teams at home this weekend in its final regular season games as a Pac-12 squad. The team is coming off a devastating 20-point loss to the Arizona Wildcats and a win against Oregon State in last weekend's games. Jermaine Couisnard has surpassed N’faly Dante as the leading scorer on the team with 15.5 points per game. He also is averaging more minutes played per game than anybody with 32.8 minutes of playing time. Despite being passed in scoring, Dante still is averaging 8.5 rebounds a game, nearly double that of the second-best.

The mountain teams are looking to capitalize on Oregon's injuries. Colorado has a 20-9 record coming into the weekend. KJ Simpson is currently averaging 19.9 points per game. On the defensive side, Eddie Lampkin Jr. is averaging seven rebounds a game with an overall strong squad.

Utah has an 18-11…

Oregon Woman's Lacrosse crush the Merrimack Warriors 18-3 at Papè field.

By Max Ragel

After losing their first game of the season at Rutgers the Ducks came into this game against Merrimack looking to spark some energy, and that they did. Anna Simmons opened the first three minutes of the game with a hat trick, you read that right, three goals in the first three minutes. After going scoreless against Rutgers Simmons put up a team high six goals in their win over Merrimack. “Cudios to the offense!” Said Simmons in her post-game interview.

Following Simmons' hot start the team kept the momentum rolling. Four more goals would follow in the first quarter. Morgan McCarthy netted two while Lauren Rismani and Katie Collins each scored once. Stellar defense in the first quarter set the tone for the rest of the game. Only allowing three shots from Merrimack in the first frame. At the end of one Oregon held a commanding 7-0 lead with all the energy in their favor. 

The second quarter saw Merrimack get on the board with a…

OREGON WLAX PREVIEW

By Olivia Arciniega

The Ducks look to avenge themselves against Merrimack University on Wednesday at Papé Field. Oregon began the season with a 4-1 record, its best start to a season in program history. Jessica Drummond has led this team to its recent success, stepping into the head coach role just this year.

Oregon

The Ducks will look to build on their winning record with three upcoming games on their home turf, where they remain undefeated. Despite a disappointing 8-17 loss to No. 22 Rutgers this past weekend, there’s a lot to look forward to for this team. They are ranked second in the Pac-12 right behind UC Davis (5-1, yet to play a conference team), and their attack is something to be scared of. Sophomore midfielder Anna Simmons leads the team in goals this year as a sophomore midfielder with 16 this season, ranking third in the Pac-12. She’s a force to be reckoned with, leading the team in forced turnover, a category in which…

PAC-12 WBB TOURNAMENT PREVIEW

By Gavin K Carpenter

It’s now March, and that means it’s time for the most exciting part of the year: postseason basketball. With the amount of talent in the Pac-12 this year (two ranked teams didn’t even get a bye), this tournament has a pretty good chance of being the most exciting of all 32 conference tournaments. Let’s preview the first-round matchups:

No. 5 Colorado vs No. 12 Oregon (3/6, 12 p.m.)

Oregon (11-20, 2-16 Pac-12)

Coming into the Pac-12 Tournament with a program-record 13-game losing streak, the Oregon Ducks take the unenviable spot of being the 12th and last seed. The Ducks are led by their big three of guard Chance Gray, forward Grace VanSlooten, and center Phillipena Kyei. Each is averaging over 12 points per game this season. Forward Kennedy Basham has also been a bright spot, averaging 11.5 points over the Ducks’ last three games. The team’s main struggle, however, has been from the lack of bench scoring…

BSB STORY: Ducks Salvage Game Three Against the Gauchos

Written by Olivia Arciniega

On a cold, rainy Sunday, Oregon hosted the UC Santa Barbara Gauchos for the last game of a three game series. After falling in the first two games by scores of 6-1 and 7-3, Oregon would bounce back to salvage a game in the series, defeating the Gauchos 16-9.

The game started off just as a reflection of the past two – not great for the Ducks. Oregon (7-3) starter Kevin Seitter led a strong first inning, with three strikeouts and just one walk from Gaucho (5-5) catcher Brendan Durfee. He struck Justin Trimble out looking to put a quick end to the top of the first. On the opposing end, Ryan Gallagher walked Justin Cassella, Jeffery Heard and Bennett Thompson to load the bases with two outs. Unfortunately for Oregon, Anson Aroz fouled a ball high behind home plate, and Durfee caught it to end the first inning with a score of 0-0.

In the second, UCSB was able to capitalize off of Kevin Seitter. A single…
