OREGON WLAX PREVIEW
By Olivia Arciniega
The Ducks look to avenge themselves against Merrimack University on Wednesday at Papé Field. Oregon began the season with a 4-1 record, its best start to a season in program history. Jessica Drummond has led this team to its recent success, stepping into the head coach role just this year.

The Ducks will look to build on their winning record with three upcoming games on their home turf, where they remain undefeated. Despite a disappointing 8-17 loss to No. 22 Rutgers this past weekend, there’s a lot to look forward to for this team. They are ranked second in the Pac-12 right behind UC Davis (5-1, yet to play a conference team), and their attack is something to be scared of. Sophomore midfielder Anna Simmons leads the team in goals this year as a sophomore midfielder with 16 this season, ranking third in the Pac-12. She’s a force to be reckoned with, leading the team in forced turnover, a category in which…

By Gavin K Carpenter
It’s now March, and that means it’s time for the most exciting part of the year: postseason basketball. With the amount of talent in the Pac-12 this year (two ranked teams didn’t even get a bye), this tournament has a pretty good chance of being the most exciting of all 32 conference tournaments. Let’s preview the first-round matchups:
No. 5 Colorado vs No. 12 Oregon (3/6, 12 p.m.)
Oregon (11-20, 2-16 Pac-12)
Coming into the Pac-12 Tournament with a program-record 13-game losing streak, the Oregon Ducks take the unenviable spot of being the 12th and last seed. The Ducks are led by their big three of guard Chance Gray, forward Grace VanSlooten, and center Phillipena Kyei. Each is averaging over 12 points per game this season. Forward Kennedy Basham has also been a bright spot, averaging 11.5 points over the Ducks’ last three games. The team’s main struggle, however, has been from the lack of bench scoring…

Read MoreBSB STORY: Ducks Salvage Game Three Against the Gauchos
Written by Olivia Arciniega
On a cold, rainy Sunday, Oregon hosted the UC Santa Barbara Gauchos for the last game of a three game series. After falling in the first two games by scores of 6-1 and 7-3, Oregon would bounce back to salvage a game in the series, defeating the Gauchos 16-9.
The game started off just as a reflection of the past two – not great for the Ducks. Oregon (7-3) starter Kevin Seitter led a strong first inning, with three strikeouts and just one walk from Gaucho (5-5) catcher Brendan Durfee. He struck Justin Trimble out looking to put a quick end to the top of the first. On the opposing end, Ryan Gallagher walked Justin Cassella, Jeffery Heard and Bennett Thompson to load the bases with two outs. Unfortunately for Oregon, Anson Aroz fouled a ball high behind home plate, and Durfee caught it to end the first inning with a score of 0-0.
In the second, UCSB was able to capitalize off of Kevin Seitter. A single…
