• Jayde Holley scored her first goal as a Duck, while Lauren Kenny and Cailin Bloom got on the scoreboard for the second time in 2025 as Oregon played Indiana to a 3-3 draw Sept. 28 in Bloomington.
• The Ducks also recorded a season-high four assists against Indiana, one each from Taylor Bryan, Lauren Kenny, Abella Hunter and Carys Hall.

CONNECTION TO UO SOCCER HISTORY RUNS DEEP
Freshman Selah Simms was coached in high school by Nicole (Garbin) Toeaina, arguably the best player in UO program history.

The previous Oak Harbor scoring record, 68, was set by Chalise Baysa (1994-97), who went on to become a three-time all-Pac-10 second team star for the Ducks and score a then-career record 31 goals for Oregon from 1998-2001. Sophomore Carly Cormack played at the same high school (Punahou) in Hawaii as former Ducks True Dydasco (2017-22), Starr Johnson (1998-01) and Jamie Kawamura (1996).

DAUGHTER OF USA SOCCER ICON NOW A DUCK

Foudy won FIFA World Cup titles with Team USA in 1991 and 1999 and brought home Olympic gold for the American side in 1996 and 2000. She was a four-time All-American at Stanford, and is currently an announcer for ESPN and part of the ownership group of Angel City FC of the National Women's Soccer League. Sawyers won't be the first Duck player with a famous mother. Dylan Tharp, an all-Pac-10 defender from 2004-07, is the daughter of ESPN's Shelley Smith.
