Oregon MTEN: The Ducks Fly Back

By Alan Babadzhanov

EUGENE, Ore - After a long month of road matches, the No. 67 Oregon Ducks (12-9, 1-2 Pac-12) are back in Eugene with a pair of home matches on Friday against the #25 UCLA Bruins (8-6, 1-2 Pac-12) and the No. 49 USC Trojans (5-11, 0-2 Pac-12) on Sunday. The Ducks are coming off a 4-1 win against Utah and look to ride the wave this week. They have a tough task ahead of them as UCLA has two ranked players in No. 22 Govind Nanda and No. 120 Spencer Johnson.

The Ducks are 1-4 in their past five matches due to some rough circumstances. No. 2 Singles player David Cierny hasn't played the past two matches due to injury. This has led to everyone moving up in the lineup and No. 3 Vlad Breazu is on a four match losing streak. No. 1 Quinn Vandecasteele is going to need to pull through as his past couple matches have led to unfinished three set matches. With UCLA having two ranked Singles players, the top of the lineup is going to need to…

Maddox, Duck lineup come alive in commanding win over Redhawks

By Saul Galvan

EUGENE, Ore- Coming off a high-scoring performance the previous night, the Ducks kept the offense production going in game three vs. Seattle. Oregon managed to plate 9 runs in the win over the Redhawks. Maddox Molony led the offense with 3 hits, including his first career home run all in the ballpark where he grew up watching games.

“I was hoping it sparked something,” said Molony. “Hitting it in this uniform (Oregon) though was cool.” Molony graduated from Thurtston Highschool where he led his team to a state championship as a senior. The hometown kid was banged up to start the season but has had a good series with six combined hits. 

The rest of the offense backed up Molony's performance, converting with base runners on. Last night, Oregon left 13 baserunners stranded but cleaned things up tonight, with only eight. Bennett Thompson, Jeffrey Heard, and Drew Smith all had 2 hits a piece. Thompson drove in three runs, two…

OREGON WLAX PREVIEW: Ducks look to right the ship against Aggies in conference play

By Mario Ponce

EUGENE, Ore. - The Oregon Ducks women’s lacrosse team (6-3, 0-2 Pac-12) will host the University of California Davis Aggies (8-3, 1-1 Pac-12) tomorrow in their third Pac-12 game of the season. The Ducks lost their opening two conference matchups and look to bounce back against the Aggies.

Oregon Ducks:

The Ducks have enjoyed their best start to a season in many years so far, but after going 5-1 before conference play, they lost back-to-back against the Cal Golden Bears and Stanford Cardinal. The Ducks have historically struggled in this sport, and they finished last season in the last position in the conference with a 1-9 Pac-12 record. This year, every team will play every other team only once, and after tomorrow's game, Oregon has four games in April. The Ducks lost to the Bears in a narrow squeaker but were outgunned by the Cardinal by double digits. Their offensive…

BSB STORY: Oregon Has Convincing Win Over Seattle Behind Stellar Pitching

EUGENE, Ore – A night after the Ducks could push across just one run in regulation, Oregon baseball (17-7, 6-3 Pac-12) seemed to have an easier win in the bag. Through two innings, Oregon was cruising. The Ducks led 4-0 and had their top-of-the-rotation starter RJ Gordon seemed to have his A-game on. 

But the script flipped for Oregon. The team which has had such a hard time starting games, but had the middle third of the game be a breeze, would struggle in the middle as the Seattle Redhawks (7-18, 3-6 WAC) continued to fight back. 

However, as it has all year, Oregon would ride its bullpen depth. Ian Umlandt, Cole Stokes, Brock Moore and Colin Clarke gave Oregon four innings of one run baseball. Most importantly, the true freshman Stokes and Clarke inherited difficult situations and rewarded the coaching staff with double play balls.

Oregon secured at the very least a series split against the Redhawks, winning 10-2.
