Pennsylvania Duck Author Moderator No. 6 Share Posted March 16 PASSING OF THE BATON After driving a base hit into left field Monday in Seattle, Allee Bunker rounded first base, returned to the bag and handed the elbow and leg guards she wears at the plate to her first-base coach. The base coach, Nikki Ragin, could have easily passed back to Bunker a baton. Because with that base hit in Oregon's 9-0 nonconference win over Seattle, Bunker passed Ragin – née Nikki Udria – into third in all-time hits for the Ducks, with No. 248 of Bunker's career. A relationship that began in 2014, when Bunker was an eighth-grade recruit and Ragin was a freshman at Oregon, has evolved over what's now nearly a decade of UO softball history. Once a player Bunker looked up to, Ragin now helps coach her since returning to Eugene as an assistant coach to Melyssa Lombardi in 2022. "It's crazy, full circle," said Bunker, whose UO softball team plays its home opener against Stanford on Friday at 6 p.m.. "When Coach Lombardi called me about Coach Ragin joining the coaching staff, I was like, this is crazy. Never in my life did I think this was going to be a possibility, for her to be a direct mentor to us as a team."

Pennsylvania Duck Author Moderator No. 8 Share Posted March 20 The Mighty Oregon Podcast Terra McGowan: All Part of the Plan Trust the process. That phrase has become a part of pop culture verbiage in the last decade, thanks in large part to the Philadelphia 76ers. At the core of the phrase is to not worry about the dark times and difficult situations because brighter days are ahead. And what better way to describe Terra McGowan’s collegiate softball career. A star high schooler on the diamond and in the classroom, McGowan went to Arizona State to play ball for the Sun Devils. Culturally, ASU wasn’t the right fit for McGowan. Her mental health was too important. Eugene provided the perfect fit culturally. But the tough times continued as she had to sit out her freshman year after transferring…and then COVID…followed by an injury that cut short her junior year. But, after trusting the process, McGowan is flourishing as a senior for the Ducks…and enjoying every moment of it. Enjoy The Mighty Oregon Podcast and see how Terra McGowan's plan has worked out...
