The Loyola Marymount University Lions (17-20, 2-0 WCC) handed the No. 6 Ducks (35-4, 9-1 Big Ten) a painful 5-3 upset loss in Eugene’s Jane Sanders Stadium on Monday afternoon. “We just didn’t do enough today,” head coach Melyssa Lombardi said postgame. “We’ve got to go back and debrief a little bit and figure out why that happened.”Oregon rode into Monday’s one-game affair on a wave of momentum.

Oregon (5-8, 0-6 Big Ten) fought hard to stay close with No. 16 Michigan (9-4, 3-2 Big Ten) in the final home game of the season, but ultimately couldn’t keep up with the scoring of the Wolverines in the 14-9 defeat. The seniors that the Ducks honored postgame were the ones who kept the game close in the first half. Paige Crowther recorded nine first-half saves in goal, while graduate attacker Bri Carrasquillo tallied two of the squad’s four goals in the opening 30 minutes.

On a night of imperfection in most facets of its game, No. 5 Oregon (33-3, 7-1 Big Ten) found a way to win again anyway. A ball glanced off Paige Sinicki’s glove? It didn’t matter. A usually–powerful offense limped through five innings with just two runs and some costly base-running errors. All of those things could have spelled trouble in Oregon’s win over Michigan.

No. 2 Oregon acrobatics and tumbling (5-1) will close its regular season on April 5 with the matchup that has defined its existence. The Ducks travel to Waco, TX to face No. 1 Baylor (8-0) for a rematch of their second meet of the season. Then, Oregon lost at home after trailing by less than two points after five events. Now, it hasn’t lost in four-straight meets and looks to shock the NCATA with an upset of the program that hasn’t dropped a meet in four years.

Conference tournaments provide incredible opportunities beyond the game of basketball. While I relish getting to talk hustle stats with Oregon head coach Dana Altman, the Big Ten also sports some of the best coaches in the nation. For years, I had seen Michigan State’s legendary head coach Tom Izzo go after reporters with his gruff voice, but this time it was me. For years, I had seen UCLA’s puppetmaster head coach Mick Cronin pop off at reporters asking about his future, but this time I was there.

Oregon women’s lacrosse hasn’t started Big Ten play in the fashion it hoped for, but the first half of the season still proved promising for the future of the young squad. While Bri Carrasquillo, one of the Ducks’ top leaders in points and goals, is a graduate student, most of the team’s top contributors have multiple years of eligibility left. Sophomore attacker Gabby Santucci, for example, was third on the team in goals before she went down with an injury. “You see how tough she is.

Revenge is even sweeter when it comes against a rival. In a 9-1 win over the Oregon State Beavers (14-15) on Wednesday, the Ducks (32-3, 6-1 Big Ten) continued their tremendous season. They led wire-to-wire in a game dominated by pitcher Elise Sokolsky, who threw seven innings with seven strikeouts, and a lineup that struck for three runs in the fourth and never looked back. Put it all together, and the Ducks continue to have a consistent recipe for success.

No. 2 Oregon acrobatics and tumbling (5-1) grabbed consecutive road wins on its East Coast trip last week — and now it’s bearing fruit. Two of the Ducks’ bases, sophomore Bella Swarthout and freshman Angelica Martin, were chosen by the NCATA to receive weekly national recognition on the back of Oregon’s 270.630-257.370 win over Iona University on March 28. Swarthout, who was named an honorable mention for the NCATA’s Athlete of the Week award, has been a standout in Eugene this season.
