The No. 13 Oregon Ducks fell to the No. 24 Utah Utes for the third consecutive game on Sunday, bringing Oregon’s regular season to an end with a stinging sweep that made its path to a Pac-12 Tournament win and hosting an NCAA regional significantly more difficult. Utah pitcher Mariah Lopez delivered Oregon its first no-hit game all year alongside its first-ever shutout at Jane Sanders Stadium.

Sunday’s game was arguably the most important of the year for the Ducks, as Oregon was fighting for a potential 3-seed in the upcoming Pac-12 Tournament. If both Oregon and Washington won – an outcome that looked more than possible, as Washington already led Stanford 3-0 by the time the first pitch was thrown at the Jane – Washington would secure second in the conference. Oregon, then having one more win in conference play than both Stanford and Utah, would secure third. More importantly, the 3 seed would set the Ducks up to play Cal – a much easier…

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…
