WBB | Senior Night: Oregon's Second Half Explosion Propels the Ducks to a 96-78 Win Over USC.

Today, the No. 2 Oregon Ducks took on the unranked, 15-12, USC Trojans in what proved to be a bounce back game for the women in white and green after their loss to UCLA on Friday. It was senior night at Matthew Knight Arena, but it was the sophomores and juniors who held onto the spotlight against the Trojans. Led by Sabrina Ionescu, Erin Boley and the return of injured Ruthy Hebard, the Ducks cruised to a 96 to 78 win at home.

The first half was a mix of highs and lows for Oregon but they ultimately entered the break ahead 40-36. The first quarter was a blur of fast and loose play from both sides. The frantic, up and down flow of the game favored the fast break reliant Trojans, who led 27 to 25 at the end of the first. The second quarter was an entirely different story, the Ducks locked down on the defensive end and only allowed 2 points through the first 8 minutes of the second quarter. Energized by the entrance of Ruthy Hebard early in the first quarter, Oregon out-…

No. 17 Oregon Softball concluded their tour of Cathedral City, California on a winning note, earning an easy 6-1 win over UC Santa Barbara on Sunday, February 24 to finish the Mary Nutter Collegiate Classic at 4-2. The Ducks used big performances by their vets to slide past the Gauchos, as senior April Utecht went 2-3 with a double, home run and three RBI, junior Haley Cruse reached base four times on a 1-1 day that featured three walks, and sophomore Shaye Bowden ended up 3-4 with two RBI. Jordan Dail also cruised from the circle, going six innings and allowing just one run on four hits, one walk, four strikeouts, and a hit-by-pitch.

SB | No. 17 Oregon Splits Texas Doubleheader vs A&M and Tech

No. 17 Oregon Softball split their Mary Nutter Collegiate College doubleheader against Texas teams on Saturday, February 23, serving a 7-5 comeback victory to Texas A&M (receiving votes) before a 5-0 shutout loss to No. 23 Texas Tech.

Oregon soared early against A&M, as sophomore catcher Shaye Bowden bashed two runs in with a first-inning double to left-center. The Aggies punched into the lead during the bottom of the second, when pinch-hitter Abby Smith took UO starter Jordan Dail deep to left center on a three-run homer. The lead would balloon to 5-2 after an RBI single from the Aggies later in the inning and Kelly Martinez' fourth-inning solo shot. Dail stayed in the circle, though, pitching past her mistakes and holding A&M at five during a five-strikeout complete game. Oregon rallied for three runs in the sixth on the back of freshmen Allee Bunker (1-4, RBI, R) and Lexi Wagner (2-2, 2 RBI), then the Ducks made Dail a winner (8-0) by capitalizing on three…
