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.

After weeks of contemplating how to change college football for the better, Ducks football head coach Dan Lanning finally landed on a decision that he called “the obvious choice.” In a move lauded by some and called an abomination by football purists, Lanning and the Oregon football program announced their intention to replace the traditional gridiron football spring game with flag football.

Just with another dominant win added to their already impressive record. In a 20-1 victory over the Rutgers Scarlet Knights, No.6 Oregon produced all the same hallmarks of a win less than 24 hours prior. The offense was explosive, the pitching was suffocating, and, well, Oregon is a lot better than most teams in the nation—especially Rutgers.

It’s cruel, but it’s true: sports fans always gravitate toward the future and yearn for what could come next. Such could be said about the Oregon women’s basketball team; a revitalized program that will likely clinch its first NCAA Tournament berth in three seasons. The Ducks will likely be among the 68 teams selected to go to March Madness. They might even have a good chance to win a game or two depending on their bracket and opponents.

It wasn’t exactly the game plan No. 8 Oregon (29-3, 2-1 Big Ten) had in mind before its 4-3 loss to Washington (20-9, 1-2 Big Ten). An early deficit. A starter who retired two batters. Two freshmen tasked with the biggest at-bats of the game. And when it mattered most Sunday night, in the Ducks’ bid to continue a remarkable start to the season, they didn’t get it done. With a runner on second and two outs, Rylee McCoy (1-4) grounded out to end the game.

In the months before, the longevity of the softball season seems more abstract, with each game of Oregon softball’s 57-game regular season representing an equal 1.85% of the season. When teams are in the lengthy grind of it, the “tomorrows” and “next weeks” leave players lacking any real finality. But with that slog of the schedule comes the moments to take a step back and reflect on a team’s current standing.

The ball bounced to the right off Braiesey Rosa’s glove, the catcher forced to jog back to pick it up before throwing the ball to her infielders. It was that kind of night. Fans booed and jeered the umpires as Oregon State (9-13) celebrated a strikeout in a key spot as Oregon’s (21-2) frustrations were close to boiling over. It was that kind of vibe. Katie Flannery looked to have a rally-starting hit only for the ball to find an outstretched Beaver glove. It was that kind of struggle.

Where does the Ducks’ postseason likelihood lie?

Sometimes, there will be a dominant showing from the pitching staff. Other times, a one-woman show, or an opponent’s blunder pushes No. 19 Oregon (12-1) over the top. Oregon’s (2-0) win over Utah (4-8) Friday afternoon at the Mary Nutter Classic was far from perfect. But with the way Lydnsey Grein is pitching of late, perfection is far from needed. The Utes joined in on the prevailing sentiment of frustration for teams facing Grein, who has now tossed 15 consecutive scoreless frames.
