Softball | Oregon Stuns #1 UCLA, Wins 4-3
After receiving Pac-12 Pitcher of the Week for her impeccable showing in Columbia, Missouri, Jordan Dail picked up where she left off, fanning 12 Bruins and leading her team to a shocking 4-2 victory over UCLA. Oregon went down 2-0 early, but a strong 4th inning brought the Ducks back into the game. Haley Cruse singled, Jasmine Sievers doubled her home, and April Utecht launched a home run over center field to give the Ducks a 3-2 lead. Rachel Cid led off the 5th with a solo home run and the Ducks held on to give UCLA its first home loss of the season.

AUDIO: Oregon Softball Excited for Shot at No. 1 UCLA
Oregon Softball (16-19, 1-8 Pac-12) has started conference play slowly, and now the team faces perhaps the toughest test the conference has to offer. UCLA stands as the unanimous no. 1 team in the country according to the NFCA poll; at 35-1, the Bruins have been nearly unbeatable all season long. However, coming off a 3-1 weekend in Columbia, Missouri that saw Oregon creep closer to .500, the Ducks may be on the verge of turning the corner. On Wednesday, April 10, UO head coach Melyssa Lombardi and players Jordan Dail and Haley Cruse detailed what the team must do this weekend to halt the Bruins midway through conference play.
