On this rainy Sunday afternoon, the Ducks were scheduled to take on the Trojans on their home field. It was also the day to celebrate the graduating seniors: Alyssa Wright, Katie Collins, Alli Bateman, Logan Gierke, Sam Brescia, Maggie Flynn, Bailey Smith, and Margot Hotham.

First Quarter:

Maybe it was the excitement from Senior Day, or because it was the last home game, but there was something in the air for the Ducks. They came out with a burst of energy that made the Trojans look slow. Haley Cummins was strong on the draw, winning the opening one, allowing the offense to work. Getting a pass into the 8 through the strong USC defense wasn’t easy, but patience was the name of the game for the Ducks. About 4 minutes into the game, Katie Collins drew a free position, where she passed it off to Cummins, who scored the first goal of the game. The Duck’s defense was just as impressive…

• 3-0 Sweep, only allowed 4 runs the entire series. Thoughts?

EUGENE - Oregon’s bid to complete a three game sweep over #7 ranked and conference rival Stanford Cardinal fell short on Sunday afternoon at PK Park. The Ducks were able to take the first two of the series winning 4-0 and 8-1 both behind complete game pitching performances from Jace Stoffal and Logan Mercado. The third time however was not the charm.

Leo Uelmen got the start on the bump for the Ducks looking to make immense on his five run, one inning outing against Oregon State one week ago. Uelmen looked to be in trouble early issuing three straight one out walks, but was able to fan back to back batters and put up a zero in the first. The game got off to a promising start for Oregon when third baseman and cleanup hitter Sabin Ceballos clubbed a no-doubt three run homer to left field in the first inning. The Ducks kept digging the long ball as Bryce Boettcher got a hold of one for his second round-tripper of the season, putting Oregon on top…

After taking the first game of the series 4-0 yesterday night Oregon looks to stay hot and grab game 2 against Stanford today at home in PK Park. The game however didn’t start all too well for either team's offense as they both started 0-0 through the first 2 innings. Logan Mercado was able to record 2 early strikeouts and Stanford was able to stay level thanks to some good fielding. 

Things didn’t last long though, as in the 3rd inning Oregon’s offense was able to get things going. After gaining momentum off of 2 more strikeouts from Mercado and a stolen base from Nishida, the Ducks bats got hot as a single from Shade got Nishida to 3rd, then Cowley had a big RBI double scoring Nishida. Ceballos then grounded out to 1st but Shade was able to score, giving Oregon the 2-0 lead at the end of the 3rd. 

The momentum didn’t slow down for Oregon as they then had 3 straight innings with an HR. In the 4th…

The Oregon Ducks (5-7) began their final home series weekend on Friday with a 12-11 come-from-behind victory against the Arizona State Sun Devils (4-9). 

The Sun Devils began the game a step ahead of the Ducks. Despite Goalie Paige Crowther getting 6 saves in the first half, ASU seemed to fire off an overwhelming number of shots and they went into halftime with a 3-7 lead. The first quarter was a dominant performance from ASU as the Ducks struggled to keep up. But as the Ducks moved into the second quarter, Attacker Morgan McCarthy shifted gears and scored a hat-trick in the second quarter alone. At halftime, Head Coach Chelsea Hoffman made sure to keep the spirits of the team high.

“They had a lot of belief,” Hoffman said. “They actually had a lot of conversations in the locker room that was productive to the areas that we need to strengthen in the second half.”

Oregon native Jace Stoffal went the full nine innings, leading the Ducks to a massive 4-0 win over #7 Stanford on Friday. The Stanford Cardinal were chopped down by Oregon’s nearly perfect pitching. Jace Stoffal started off the game scorching hot. He had two K’s in the first inning. During the first three innings, it was a pitcher’s duel between Oregon's Jace Stoffal and Stanford’s lefty, Quinn Mathews. The game remained scoreless through three innings. Mathews started off hot, then cooled down, as he gave up three runs in the fourth inning. Despite Mathews pitching a fairly complete game, Stanford’s quiet offense caused them this loss. The Cardinal didn’t score a single run the entire game.

In the fourth inning, Oregon ended the scoring drought. Junior outfielder Colby Shade put the Ducks on the board with his solo blast that brushed the left fielder banner in the bottom of the fourth. Then, Oregon first baseman Jacob Walsh hit a two-run…
