On May 12, thousands of fans lined up outside Matthew Knight Arena in Eugene, decked out in New York Liberty merch. It didn’t matter that Matthew Knight Arena is 2,918 miles away from the Liberty’s home, the Barclays Center in New York. Two teams on opposite coasts became one fan base — at least for the weekend. New York’s WNBA franchise traveled to Eugene for a preseason matchup against the Toyota Antelopes of the Japan Women’s Basketball League.

On Monday, after months of anticipation, high school quarterback prospect Jared Curtis committed to the University of Georgia over Oregon. The Ducks have a talented quarterback room, but none entered Autzen Stadium with the hype Curtis has surrounding him.

It wasn’t exactly the blueprint the Ducks had in mind. An early deficit. A struggling ace. The tying run at the plate with one out remaining.

Early on, the Ducks got a poor performance from starting pitcher Lydnsey Grein, who limped through two innings of three-run ball.

In other years for other teams, a late-season trip to the Midwest could be seen as an opportunity for a let-down performance. That caveat did not come to fruition in No. 5 Oregon’s (44-5, 17-2 Big Ten ) 9-7 win over Indiana (28-16, 8-10 Big Ten). The victory capped off the Ducks’ fifth sweep of conference play — and it wasn’t easy. After falling behind by as many as six, Indiana came storming back within two runs to almost tie the game.

It wasn’t the team title that No. 2 Oregon wanted, but the Ducks took home a trio of individual event titles and saw two senior athletes named All-Americans on April 27 as consolation from a strong trip to the 2025 NCATA National Championships. The three winning heats — the Ducks qualified for 12 of the 15 possible finals — were some of Oregon’s strongest from the season. The All-Americans, both starting senior performers, emerged for two of the Ducks’ most reliable athletes.

It’s not often that a team can lose both starters at a position and still feel confident. But don’t sleep on Oregon’s secondary, which lost 2024 starting duo Kobe Savage and Tysheem Johnson — yet looks ready to compete in 2025. Savage and Johnson provided remarkable stability last year, but both declared for the NFL Draft and left the Ducks without a starting safety.
