Ducks to Host Eight Fall Games at The Jane

EUGENE, Ore. – Oregon will host eight fall exhibition games at Jane Sanders Stadium in October.

As in previous years, each game will have a charitable cause associated with it. All games will be free and open to the public.

The Ducks open the fall slate Oct. 11 versus Clackamas Community College and then host Western Oregon in a midweek game on Oct. 14. Oregon will play a doubleheader against Western Washington on Oct. 18.

The Ducks will then play two doubleheaders the final weekend of October. Oregon will face Oregon Tech and Mount Hood Community College on Oct. 24 and Southwestern Oregon Community College and Southern Oregon on Oct. 25.

The fall season will conclude with an intrasquad scrimmage on Nov. 1.

Oregon returns its entire starting infield from 2026 in catcher Emma Cox, Stefini Ma'ake and Rylee McCoy who split time at first base and designated player, Kaylynn Jones at second base, shortstop Taryn Ho and Katie Flannery at third base. Starters Ayanna Shaw (outfield), Addison Amaral (utility) also return along with pitchers Maddie Milhorn and Taylour Spencer.

The Ducks added outfielder Ilove'a Brittingham, a power bat, and pitcher Kate Dahle from BYU.

They will join a top-10 recruiting class that features three players ranked in the top 40 nationally. That trio includes infielder Bailey Goldberg (#33 recruit nationally) who is from the same hometown – Henderson, Nev. – as Duck Gold Glove winner Paige Sinicki, infielder Analise DeWitt (#35) from Williamsburg, Iowa, and pitcher Piper Cavanaugh (#41) from Traverse City, Mich. The Ducks' freshman class also includes four-star signees Ava Fiumara, an outfielder from Lower Gwynedd, Pa., pitcher Rylee Ruppel from Maple Ridge, B.C., and utility player Kylie Tafua out of Orange, Calif.

Oregon is coming off a 2026 season that saw the Ducks go 41-14 overall, 20-4 in the Big Ten and reach the NCAA Tournament for the sixth consecutive year under coach Melyssa Lombardi, who is entering her ninth season in Eugene. The Ducks finished second in the league and didn't drop a Big Ten series for the second straight year. Oregon has won all 16 series since joining the Big Ten in 2024.
