Women’s College World Series: Oregon Ducks Face Familiar Foe In First Round

The bracket for the Women’s College World Series is set and three Pac-12 teams have made it to Oklahoma City. Oregon will face one of them later this week.

The Oregon Ducks swept through both the Eugene Regional and Super Regional over the last two weeks. On Saturday the hero was Mia Camuso who led the way for an epic comeback in the Top of the 7th inning keying the second week in a row that the Ducks swept the competition. While fans in Eugene were shouting for their Ducks, other teams were fighting for their lives, including the Washington Huskies.

Washington was in a series tie with Utah 1-1 forcing a third game on Saturday, won by the Huskies. The Ducks lost two of three to Washingon in the regular season in Eugene during a stretch that saw Oregon lose six of nine games.

The Ducks and Huskies will meet in the first round of the Women’s College World Series in a Best of Three format. Oregon is the 3 seed, Washington comes in as a 6 seed. Oregon has won 14 straight games and two straight series.
