“Take the opportunity when presented:” the WNBA’s collegiate tour is a go

1 day ago | dailyemerald.com | Jack Lazarus

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.
Breaking: Jared Curtis commits to Georgia over Oregon

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. Curtis is the consensus No. 1 quarterback (No. 2 overall player) in the class of 2026.
How invasive species are threatening Eugene

1 week ago | dailyemerald.com | Joseph Chiu

If you take a walk through Eugene’s parks or along the Willamette River, you might notice the lush greenery — thick blackberry brambles, fields of white flowers and ponds buzzing with life. But underneath all that beauty, a quiet crisis is unfolding. Invasive plants and animals are spreading throughout Eugene’s natural spaces, pushing out native species and unraveling the ecosystems that have supported Oregon’s wildlife for centuries.
No. 3 Oregon softball beats Michigan State 7-6; earns outright Big Ten regular season title

1 week ago | dailyemerald.com | Jack Lazarus

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. But when it mattered most Sunday afternoon, in the Ducks’ bid to win the series and conference regular season title, No. 3 Oregon made it happen — mounting a comeback to win 7-6 at Jane Sanders Stadium. Early on, the Ducks got a poor performance from starting pitcher Lydnsey Grein, who limped through two innings of three-run ball.
No. 3 Oregon wins 14-0 over Michigan State; clinches share of Big Ten

1 week ago | dailyemerald.com | Jack Lazarus

There are no must-win games in No. 3 Oregon’s (46-6, 18-3 Big Ten) regular season, but there are games in which the Ducks need to stop the bleeding. Oregon found itself in such a situation on Sunday, as the team with the most wins in the country was in danger of losing two games to the same team for the first time all season — and choking away the Big Ten regular-season championship.
Race recap: Alex Aeschliman’s bicoastal marathon week

1 week ago | dailyemerald.com | Jess McComb

In the morning before the Boston Marathon, Alex Aeschliman said she felt nervous and tired. The nerves would subside, but exhaustion followed her through the course to the very end. In the weeks leading up to the race, Aeschliman battled a case of posterior tibial tendonitis and within the first three miles of the race she was hurting. Surprisingly, it wasn’t her ankle that bothered her, but her left quad:an ache in her IT band that persisted through the finish.
Rookie runner returns to Hayward Field

2 weeks ago | dailyemerald.com | Jess McComb

Over the span of the four months I spent training for my first marathon, the 2024 Eugene Marathon, I published 19 articles detailing my experience. Under the alias of “rookie runner,” marathon training became my entire identity, and I fell in love with a sport that showed very little affection in return. I crossed my first marathon finish line with four rehabbed injuries and very clear intentions set — I would not be running 26.2 miles again for a very long time.
No. 5 Oregon softball completes sweep over Indiana with 9-7 win

2 weeks ago | dailyemerald.com | Jack Lazarus

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.
No. 2 Oregon acrobatics and tumbling takes home three event titles and two All-American nods

2 weeks ago | dailyemerald.com | Jack Lazarus

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.
