OREGON WLAX RECAP: Ducks defeat Red Foxes to stay undefeated

By Tayten Torgrimson

On February 25th, Oregon finished their three-game home streak by defeating the Marist Red Foxes 16-9. Oregon struggled for a bit in the first quarter with Marist’s physicality but was able to score six goals before the end of the quarter. The Ducks started slow overall, but played excellent defense, allowing just four goals before the halftime break. After an electric buzzer-beating goal by Anna Simmons, Oregon led at half 9-4. A repeat of last week by midfielder Rachel Pallo as she broke her record of 11 draw controls by having 12 draw controls today.

Oregon put together a disciplined first half defensively, coach Jess Drummond said, “for me to see that…

OREGON BB RECAP: Ducks Soar Past Leopards for the Series Sweep

Written Story by Ty Goss

Looking to finish a potential sweep against the Lafayette Leopards, the Oregon Ducks came into today riding high off of a string of three-straight victories with a 5-1 record.

Taking the mound to start for the Ducks was Kevin Seitter, a senior transfer from Quinnipiac starting for the second time this season, recording three earned runs and two strikeouts in four innings pitched.

The game would swing in Oregon’s favor fast, as they would score one run in the first inning off of a wild pitch, followed by a flurry of runs in the second inning as the Ducks brought five across. These runs would come courtesy of Chase Meggers and Carter Garate singles, with Jeffrey Heard recording a double to notch a run batted in of his own.

Seitter would have a dominant day on the bump which started with him shoving in the early innings, recording eight strikeouts in his first five while allowing two earned runs, one…

OREGON WLAX PREVIEW: Ducks host Red Foxes in best start to a season in years

By Mario Ponce

EUGENE, Ore - The Oregon Ducks women’s lacrosse team (2-0) will host the Marist Red Foxes (0-2) today in their third game of the season. The Ducks have historically struggled, but they have turned around under new head coach Jessica Drummond.

Oregon Ducks:

The Ducks are undefeated in two games, scoring 19 goals in their opener against the Youngstown State Penguins, and 17 against the St Francis Red Flash in their second game. The 36 goals and 15 assists have given Oregon a great offensive display, and the Ducks have momentum in the last of the three home games at the start of the season. Sophomore midfielder is the offensive leader of the team right now, with nine goals and three assists, and the team will look for her to continue to lead the way.

Marist Red Foxes:

The Red Foxes have lost both of their games so far, being outscored by 22 goals by the New Hampshire Wildcats and…

OREGON WLAX PREVIEW: Ducks look to stay undefeated against Marist

By Ty Goss

Eugene, Ore. — After a triumphant pair of home wins on Papé Field for Oregon, coach Jessica Drummond and her Ducks are looking to pivot toward their bout against Marist College. Oregon is riding high in the season so far, winning both of its first two games while outscoring opponents 36-15.

Oregon Ducks

The Ducks have experienced a series of early breakouts at the start of the season, with multiple underclassmen making performances that would be expected out of more established stars. After scoring eight goals in 17 games played in the 2023 season, sophomore Anna Simmons is a clear rising star on the team, recording a team-leading nine goals in two games, with six coming in the Ducks’ matchup against St. Francis. Second on the Ducks in goals is Haley Cummins, a senior experiencing a later-blossom breakout with seven goals, one shy of her previous season-high. A name that has been surprisingly quiet to start the year is…

The Ducks Sore Over the Leopards as Oregon Takes Down Lafayette in Both Games of the Doubleheader.

Written Story By Wilder Lewis

The Ducks opened up their home season with a 4 game series vs Lafayette this weekend at PK Park. After the Ducks had everyone in the lineup record a hit last night they were able to claim the first game for 4 by a score of 17-3. Both teams met back up today in sunny Eugene for a double header in which Oregon were able to control a good portion of.

In the first game of the day the Ducks came out flying as leadoff batter Justin Cassella drove a big shot out for a lead off HR. The offense didn’t slow there however as Oregon had two 6 run innings in the 3rd and 5th. The latter of which was capped off by Cassella’s second HR of the night this time being a 3 run shot giving him 5 total RBI’s on the night. Offense wasn’t the only factor for the Ducks in this one though as sophomore pitcher Grayson Grinsell was on the mound for Oregon and he had himself a new career day. Grinsell recorded 10 strikeouts in only…
