Pennsylvania Duck

Defense must travel with Ducks, who head north for WNIT quarterfinal The Ducks have a pretty good idea of what to expect in Seattle on Sunday. They have three previous games with the Huskies to pull from. "If we play Washington it'll be the fourth time which is unusual," head coach Kelly Graves said on Thursday before the matchup was set. "That doesn't happen very often, if ever." Those three games have shown that 40 minutes have hardly been enough to separate these teams with an average margin of just 5.7 points per game. Oregon (20-14) has won two of three, but Washington (18-14) took the game played in Seattle where Sunday's WNIT quarterfinal will take place. Because of Washington's style, all three games have felt like they've been played in the mud with the winning team scoring fewer than 70 points each game. Stylistically, that style doesn't jive with Oregon's most seasons, but it does align more with the way the Ducks have performed in three WNIT games.

Draft analyst says Noah Sewell might be "overhyped" as draft approaches After the 2021 season, Noah Sewell was on the top of his game. He led the Ducks in nearly every defensive statistical category. Although that season ended poorly with losses to Utah in the Pac-12 title game and Oklahoma in the Alamo Bowl, it wasn’t because Sewell wasn’t playing well. But then a coaching change occurred, a new defensive system was installed and for some reason, Sewell suffered for it. His stats went down. Not only did they go down, but they were also cut in half and it wasn’t because of playing time. Why that happened isn’t exactly clear, but it wasn’t a shock to see Sewell declare for the NFL draft. Now with the scouts getting an up-close look at him, the hype train surrounding Sewell might have left with him still on the platform. According to USA Today’s Draft Wire writer Jeff Risdon, Sewell might be a bit overhyped. Here are the reasons given. DraftWire says Noah Sewell might be "overhyped" as draft approaches DUCKSWIRE.USATODAY.COM After a down season in 2022 statistically, Noah Sewell’s draft stock took a bit of a hit.

Smith sets program hits record as Ducks roll to win Oregon hit a modern-era program record six home runs while Tanner Smith set a new Ducks' record for career hits in a 16-1 nonconference win over Northwestern State at PK Park on Friday night. Smith started Oregon's 14-hit attack with a second-inning double that broke Gabe Matthews' (2017-21) school record for career hits. Smith's two-bagger gave him 247 for his career and the double was the 55th of his career which is four shy of setting a new school record. Junior third baseman Sabin Ceballos hit two of Oregon's six homers with Smith, Gavin Grant, Jacob Walsh and Dominic Hellman all adding one long ball apiece. Hellman's home run was the freshman's first career bomb. Smith sets program hits record as Ducks roll to win - University of Oregon Athletics GODUCKS.COM Oregon hit a modern era program record 6 home runs in the win Tanner Smith sets all-time hits record as Oregon trounces Northwestern State 16-1 A special day for Tanner Smith turned into a special day for Oregon on Friday. The veteran left fielder wasted no time setting Oregon’s all-time hits record, smacking a double in the second inning to the delight of the Ducks’ dugout and the crowd at PK Park. It was his 247th career hit — and he added two more for good measure. “Just an immense amount of gratitude to think about all the people that have helped me get to that point,” Smith said while choking up in his postgame press conference. “All the coaches, all the players, there’s been some unbelievable people that have helped me put a record like that up there, and I gotta give thanks to everybody that has.” Smith and the Ducks never looked back, going on to hit six homers in a 16-1 thrashing of Northwestern State. It included a pair of three-run bombs from Sabin Ceballos and the first home run of Dominic Hellman’s career. Smith and Gavin Grant were also each one hit shy of a cycle.

Ducks Take Opener With No. 3 Bruins, 3-0 Morgan Scott threw a shutout and Terra McGowan drove in two runs for the No. 19 Ducks, who host the Bruins again Saturday in Jane Sanders Stadium. Playing their third straight series against a top-10 opponent, the Oregon softball team made a strong opening statement against No. 3 UCLA on Friday at Jane Sanders Stadium, shutting out the Bruins, 3-0. UO senior Terra McGowan homered in the first and had an RBI double in the fifth for the No. 19 Ducks (20-8, 3-4 Pac-12). She also caught pitcher Morgan Scott, who followed up her win over Stanford the week before by again going seven innings without allowing an earned run to a top-10 opponent, this time the Bruins. "Morgan's coming into her own," UO head coach Melyssa Lombardi said. "You can see she's really settling in and understanding what she's wanting to do. And I just love it. I love that our team just rallies around her, just the energy that she gives off. These guys want to play really, really hard for her."
