12/02/19 | Softball
OKLAHOMA CITY — The 2020 USA Softball Women's National Team (WNT) will bring the "Stand Beside Her" tour to the University of Oregon on March 18, 2020 as Team USA will face off against the Oregon Ducks and Southern Oregon University. The tour stop marks a homecoming for 2020 WNT member Janie Reed (Placentia, Calif.), who graduated from the University of Oregon in 2015, while the 2020 WNT prepares for the 2020 Tokyo Games.
"I can't explain how excited I am to get to go to Eugene on the 'Stand Beside Her' tour," said Reed. "I never got to play in The Jane and I already know it's going to be an emotional experience getting to wear the USA uniform on that field and in that stadium - especially in front of the best fans in the world!"
During the Eugene tour stop, fans will have the opportunity to watch the Red, White and Blue compete in an exhibition doubleheader. Played at Jane Sanders Stadium (1677 University St, Eugene, Ore., 97403), Team USA will play Southern Oregon University at 3:30 pm PT followed by a matchup against the Oregon Ducks approximately 35 minutes after the conclusion of the first game. Tickets for the game will go on sale December 6 and can be purchased at GoDucks.com. General admission tickets will be $15 and reserved tickets will be $27.
"We are honored to host the USA Women's National Team here at Jane Sanders Stadium," said Oregon head coach Melyssa Lombardi. "Our players will have the chance not only to play against the very best players in our game, but also to interact with them and really see what it takes to be an Olympian. This is also an incredible opportunity for our fans to see the best players in the world competing right here at The Jane, and the fact that we will be welcoming home an all-time great Duck in Janie (Takeda) Reed makes it all the more special."
With the return of softball to the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games program, the "Stand Beside Her" tour provides much-needed training and competition for the 2020 WNT in their preparation for the Olympic Games while also giving fans a chance to watch the Red, White and Blue in person. Olympic competition will start July 22, 2020 with the Gold Medal Game being played on July 28.
The "Stand Beside Her" tour evokes a powerful message of unity aimed to inspire communities to stand beside HER – the members of the WNT, America and the future generation of female athletes.
"We have an incredible opportunity to meet and play against some of the best softball players in the history of the game," said Southern Oregon University Interim Head Coach, Mike Mayben. "It is a privilege to be a part of Team USA's journey as they prepare for the 2020 Olympic Games."
Additional stops for the "Stand Beside Her" tour will be announced at a later date. For more information on the "Stand Beside Her" tour, please visit StandBesideHerTour.com.
