EUGENE, OR — Friday evening, Oregon Softball entered their final regular-season series with Utah looking to extend their 13-game win streak. But following a 3-1 loss, they'll have to begin a new streak. After scoring over 8 runs per game and allowing fewer than 2 per game since their last loss on April 2, no one got it going against Utah ace Mariah Lopez, who fanned seven batters en route to a complete game.

The most important of the Ducks' four hits was a no-doubt solo blast over the right field scoreboard by Ariel Carlson in the second inning to give the Ducks a 1-0 lead. It was an impressive display of opposite field power, and at the time, it looked like the start of another offensive onslaught.

The score didn't budge in the third or fourth inning, though, as Oregon starter Morgan Scott kept the Utes off the board but the offense failed to support her. The fifth inning saw the game turn upside down. After Sophie Jacquez led…

Oregon heads down south to Southern California for the first time this season as they get set for a crucial weekend series with the Trojans of USC. The Ducks, who lost already this week in the Tuesday night single-header against Oregon State, are living in tense times as they continue their pursuit for their first regular season conference championship since 1957.

Conference Picture

As it stands, Oregon (30-14) sit in third place and two games behind the conference leading Stanford Cardinal (28-13). The team in between these two is Arizona State (29-15), the squad Oregon just took two out of three from at PK Park last weekend. Now, Stanford and Arizona State are also set for a three-game slate against one another this weekend in which does not favor Oregon all that much. The best case scenario for the Ducks is a two of three wins for the Sun Devils over Stanford, as that would put Oregon a game ahead…

Oregon

The Ducks have been on an absolute heater lately, with a 13-game win streak that included series sweeps over three Pac-12 rivals, and dominating wins against the lower competition they faced. Oregon has not lost a series since dropping two out of three games to UCLA in late March, who is now the #2 team in the country, with one of their only four losses on the season coming to the Ducks. Since losing three straight series to top 10 teams in…

In Saturday’s afternoon matchup, Oregon’s Green team held on for a narrow 23-20 victory over Yellow in what proved to be an unexpectedly defensive showcase.

Despite anticipation of offensive fireworks between starters Bo Nix and Ty Thompson, the first half of Oregon’s spring game was defined by sluggish offense, strong defense, numerous incompletions. The game remained scoreless through the end of the first quarter, but Green leapt out to a 10-0 lead by the end of the half. Camden Lewis opened the scoring with a chip shot field goal, which was followed by a passing touchdown from Bo Nix to Troy Franklin. In the first quarter, receivers on both teams struggled with dropped passes.

Both teams’ defenses let up in the second half, and Thompson found more consistency behind center, passing for two touchdowns. He flashed some chemistry with Kris Hutson and Tez Johnson, completing passes for 50+ yards to each of them at points. Hutson…
