No. 2 seeded Oregon women's basketball has exorcised its Elite 8 demons, knocking off No. 1 seed Mississippi State 88-84 on Sunday afternoon in Portland and clinching its first ever trip to the Final Four. After falling just short the past two seasons, the Ducks were led by the Regional's Most Outstanding Player, Sabrina Ionescu, who set a program NCAA Tournament record with 31 points to go along with 8 assists and 7 rebounds. Combining with Ionescu was a stellar performance from Satou Sabally (22 points, 7 rebounds), and a strong second half from Ruthy Hebard, who finished with 14 points and 5 boards. In total, Oregon shot 54% from the field and after going just 4-20 from beyond the arc in Friday night's Sweet Sixteen win, the Ducks connected on 13 of 26 on Sunday. The win marks the second of the season against the Bulldogs, and sets Oregon up for a Final Four meeting with either No. 1 Baylor or No. 2 Iowa next weekend in Tampa, Fla. Listen below to a pair of game stories, along…

After seven consecutive conference losses, Oregon exploded for 14 hits and seven runs to stifle Stanford and win 7-2. The Ducks saw Maddie MacGrandle display un-waning poise in the circle, holding the two thru six Cardinal-batters hitless and only allowing four hits and two run in five-and-two-thirds innings of work. Shaye Bowden launched a grand slam in the first inning, allowing the Ducks an early lead that proved to be insurmountable for Stanford through the proceeding seven innings. The Cardinal found offensive production from lead-off hitter Teaghan Cowles, who reached base four times, three by way of a hit and also walking once. The Oregon-win ends Stanford's 3-0 conference start and sets the stage for a rubber match in the final game of the series on Sunday.

Oregon came to Stanford ready to swing away. The Ducks plated four runs in the first inning courtesy of Allee Bunker's grand slam and held the Stanford Cardinal scoreless through the first three innings. The tide turned when Stanford scored three unanswered runs in the third and fourth innings, before exploding for a five-run fifth inning to take an 8-5 lead heading into the sixth inning. Oregon found a spark when Rachel Cid skied a solo home run to bring the Ducks within two runs, but a scoreless seventh inning sealed the win for Stanford. Stanford's Carolyn Lee tallies her eighth win of the season (8-2). Oregon's Madison MacGrandle picks up her sixth loss this season (2-6).

On March 11, 2016 Oregon Softball traveled to Stockton, California and Cheridan Hawkins through a no-hitter in a win. Just over 2 years later, Jordan Dail through a new hitter against the Pacific Tigers in Stockton as well. Dail threw 7 innings and struck out a career high 13 batters. Her only blemish was her 5 walks. The Ducks snap their 12 game losing streak with their 5-0 victory. Jasmine Sievers was the main source of offensive production for Oregon. Sievers went 3-3 with 2 RBIs and was just a homer away from hitting for the cycle. Hannah Galey re-introduced herself with an RBI single in the top of the sixth inning. Oregon was very active on the base paths as well. As a team they had 7 stolen bases, 3 of which came from Haley Cruse.

Oregon moves to 12-16 on the season and hopes to use Wednesday's momentum as they look for their first conference victory as they start a 3 game series on The Farm starting Friday at 7 pm.
