THE DUCKS vs. THE GOLDEN BEARS
Oregon kicks off a three-game road stint to end the regular season with a matchup against California .In the previous meeting between the sides, the Golden Bears earned the first Pac-12 win for head coach Jennifer Wong in a 13-12 decision at Papé Field. Senior Alyssa Wright had a team-leading five points (3 goals, 2 assists) in the defeat. Wong is 4-10 (1-6 Pac-12) thus far in her first season at the helm.
DUCKS STUMBLE AGAINST THE TROJANS
For the second time this season, the Oregon attack struggled to gain any serious offensive momentum against No. 20 USC. The Ducks scored first and held a 2-1 advantage 21 minutes into the contest, but a 5-0 run by the Trojans left Oregon without an answer. Sophomore Gabby Cleveland scored her fifth hat trick of the season after scoring all three goals in the second half.
» Morgan McCarthy extended her goal-scoring streak to 24 games on Sunday with her 50th goal in the stretch.
» Graduate transfer Margot Hotham caused four turnovers for the second consecutive game, the first time in her career.
