The fifth-ranked Ducks (15-2, 5-1 Pac-12) head back to home court after a successful road trip to Colorado and Utah which saw them drop just one set all weekend. The Ducks put together another strong defensive performance holding both teams to a sub-.130 hitting percentage. The defense was anchored by Morgan Lewis and Karson Bacon, who both totaled 13 blocks. Hannah Pukis continued her strong senior campaign with her 12th double-double of the season against Utah. Mimi Colyer picked up two more double-digit kill games but struggled to limit the attack errors, hitting below .200 for the sixth game in a row. Ohio State transfer Gabby Gonzales had arguably the best performance of the weekend as she accounted for 24 total kills while hitting above .300 in both games.

What to expect vs. Arizona (Friday at 7 p.m.)
The Wildcats (6-11, 1-5) are one of the cellar-dwellers in the Pac-12. With just one Pac-12 win on the season against UCLA…

This Friday night will feature a battle between two Eugene-area schools that will reveal a lot about the position of both programs in the league hierarchy. Coming into this game with a 4-0 league record, Thurston could not have asked for a better start. They sit atop the league standings with a one game lead over Springfield and Eagle Point, both of which they dominated in head-to-head matchups. Meanwhile, South Eugene currently sits in second-to-last place with a 1-3 league record, with the win coming against Willamette by 3 points. The Axe are in desperate need of a momentum shift after 3 consecutive losses, and this week’s test will not be an easy one. 

Thurston quarterback Noah Blair leads the league in both total passing yards and passing yards per game, with around a 2-to-1 lead over the second-place QB in both stats. As you would expect, their receiving stats are also very impressive.…

Oregon’s 2023-24 journey has been a rocky one so far. Oregon are still seeking their first win. This Friday, October 13, Oregon will play against the Arizona State Sun Devils at home at Papé field. 

The Ducks remain winless this season with a record of 0-11-2. Oregon haven’t been unable to find consistent offensive production. Goals have been scarce for Oregon, with just six netted so far for the Ducks in 13 games played. The Ducks have five straight losses. They’re 0-5 in the last five, while ASU are 3-1-1 in their last five games.

The Sun Devils are coming off of a 5-1 win against the Washington State Cougars last Sunday, October 8. Five is the most goals ASU have scored in a single game this season. The Ducks on the other side of things are looking to bounce back from a 0-4 loss against #5 UCLA last Sunday. Arizona State have a record of 8-2-4, with just two losses this season. The Sun Devils are currently the fourth…

The University of Oregon Ducks are set to take on the Corban University Warriors in their first game of the 2024 season on Sunday afternoon.

In their first friendly match of the 2023 fall season, the Ducks will test the strength of their roster when they take on the Corban Warriors. After losing leaders like Allee Bunker and Terra McGowan the Ducks are looking for who will take their role as the vocal leaders of the team.

The Ducks look to build on the momentum from last year, despite having numerous new faces on the team. Coach Melissa Lombardi spoke on moving forward. “The only way to can get better is with experience,” she added, “it’s on all of us to show them was Oregon softball looks like.”

The team is still ripe with seasoned talent at all positions. 14 of 23 Oregon players are upperclassmen, 4 of which are 5th year students.

For offensive output, the team will look to fifth-year outfielder Ariel Carlson…
