A softball team lost the state championship game on Saturday after a rough call by the umpires. Sheldon beat Oregon City 1-0 in the Oregon 6A State Championship at Jane Sanders Stadium in Eugene. The game was scoreless until the bottom of the 7th inning when a wacky play happened with one out. Sheldon’s Brooke...

The path to Oregon baseball hosting a super regional once seemed highly unlikely, but in a major upset, Oral Roberts won the Stillwater regional. The Ducks rank higher than them in RPI. So, Oregon could potentially play games at PK Park. First, they had to beat Xavier in the Nashville Regional Final.

The Oregon Ducks’ new indoor football practice facility is another step closer to breaking ground. The finance and facilities committee of UO’s board of trustees approved a proposal to lease or license portions of the Hatfield-Dowlin Complex as well as property to be acquired from the city of Eugene to Phit Too, LLC, an entity of the University of Oregon Foundation, which will manage construction of the new 170,000-square-foot facility and then return it to the university as a gift. The full board will vote on the proposal during its meeting on Tuesday.

Former Oregon defensive tackle Haloti Ngata is once again on the ballot for induction into the College Football Hall of Fame. Ngata is among 78 players and nine coaches from the Football Bowl Subdivision and 101 players and 32 coaches from the divisional ranks on this year’s ballot, the National Football Foundation (NFF) and College Hall of Fame announced Monday. He was also on last year’s ballot.

After a long offseason full of roster moves, the Oregon Ducks men’s basketball team has finally taken final shape and is ready to start preparing for the new season in 2023-24. A second-straight frustrating season in 2022-23 has understandably left the roster looking much different than it did a year ago. A handful of players — Kel’el Ware, Rivaldo Soares, Quincy Guerrier, among others — entered the portal and left Eugene, while a group of others — Kario Oquendo, Devan Cambridge, Jadrian Tracey, and Jesse Zarzuela — opted to join Dana Altman and transfer to Oregon. The Ducks also have the...

There has been a lot of roster turnover for the Oregon Ducks this offseason as head coach Dan Lanning continues to mix and match and find the right combination of players that fit his scheme going forward. Redshirt freshman linebacker Harrison Taggart is one of the players who left Eugene to enter the transfer portal, and on Saturday he announced that he would be ending up at BYU with the Cougars. As a Utah native from Draper, it makes sense that Taggart would want to play closer to home and join a system where he has a better chance at seeing more...

Recently-hired OL coach A'lique Terry explains what has been the most difficult and the most satisfying parts of his first few months on the job. A'lique Terry landed his dream job earlier this year when Dan Lanning hired him to coach Oregon's offensive line. The 27-year old has been on...

Oregon is headed to its first Super Regional in more than a decade, having most recently gone this far during the 2012 season. As head coach Mark Wasikowski pointed out, pitching has been a huge piece of the puzzle for the Ducks. In particular, Wasikowski says that the pitching staff flipped the game against Xavier, […] The post Mark Wasikowski says pitching staff flipped game for Oregon appeared first on On3.

To win its first baseball state championship since 2009, Thurston looked to, perhaps, an unexpected player. PHOTOS: Thurston beats West Albany 2-1 with walk-off inside-the-park home run for Class 5A baseball title.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The NCAA Baseball Tournament begins with 64 teams. Those teams are divided into 16 regionals before moving to eight Super Regionals. The number of teams then dwindles to 16 in those eight Super Regionals. With an 11-2 victory over No. 3 seed Xavier on Sunday night,...

For the first time since 2012, Oregon is headed to an NCAA super regional. Drew Cowley had four RBIs and Rikuu Nishida went 3 for 5 with a bases-clearing double to send the Ducks to a 11-2 win over Xavier in the Nashville Regional final Sunday night at Hawkins Field.

The Oregon Ducks are nothing if not interesting, to say the least. After ending the regular season on a high note by winning the Pac-12 Tournament championship, they got a bid into the Nashville Regional where the hot play has continued. On Friday night, Oregon beat Xavier in impressive fashion, and they picked up another massive victory on Saturday night against the host team Vanderbilt, surviving a two-run rally in the ninth inning to win 8-7. The Ducks are now in a prime position, needing just one win on Sunday night — against either Xavier or Vanderbilt — to get to advance to a Super Regional. Should the Ducks lose on Sunday night, they will have another opportunity to advance on Monday. With such a massive win, Duck fans on social media were exuberant on Saturday.

Xavier may not want to schedule Oregon in any sport ever again. The Oregon Ducks baseball team began this season with a four-game sweep over the Musketeers and just ended the Nashville Regional with an 11-2 win over that same Xavier team. Now the Ducks will come home and host Oral Roberts in their first Super Regional since 2012. The Golden Eagles were a 4-seed in the Stillwater Regional and upset Dallas Baptist 6-5 to advance. The weekend series will be a Best of 2-of-3 with the winner going on to Omaha for the College World Series. Playing and defeating Xavier for the...
