No. 24 Oregon Softball has seen plenty of the United States during nonconference play, taking trips to Florida, Arizona, and southern California twice over the past month.

Head coach Melyssa Lombardi, whose team will play at Jane Sanders Stadium for the first time in her tenure this weekend, explained how the Ducks can benefit from extra practice days while speaking to the media on Wednesday, March 6. Junior outfielder Haley Cruse and freshman shortstop Jasmine Sievers shared Lombardi's excitement, and expressed their own anticipation in UO's return to the Jane. Find the full audio below.
