The Ducks open a four-match homestand by hosting No. 10 UCLA Friday at 6 p.m. at Papé Field (B1G+).
ON THE PITCH
• Oregon's defense continues to perform at historic levels. The Ducks have only allowed six goals in their first 11 games, which is the best in the modern era, and overall trails only the 1981 squad that allowed just four goals in its first 11 matches.
• The Ducks are third in the Big Ten in goals against average (0.55), which ranks 18th nationally.
• Oregon is also tied for fourth in the Big Ten in shutouts with six.
• The Ducks lead the Big Ten in shot accuracy (.482) and are third in the league on shots on goal per game (7.36). Oregon is also fourth in goal differential (+13).
• Freshman Giselle White made her 2026 debut on Sept. 24 after playing in the 2026 U20 World Cup for Argentina.
• The Ducks have already exceeded last season's total number of wins (3), goals (15), assists (12) and points (42).
• Oregon went undefeated in nonconference play (5-0-1) for just the second time since 1981.
• Tracy Joyner is 136-90-34 with 11 winning seasons in 14 years as a head coach. She is 58-50-15 at the Division I level (seventh season) and built winning programs at a junior college (42-15-7 at Santa Rosa JC), at an NCAA Division II school (36-25-12 at San Francisco State) and at the DI level (49-37-8 at UC Davis).
STOUT DEFENSE
The Ducks have allowed just six goals through 11 matches which is the fewest allowed to start a season in the modern era (1996-present), and overall trails only the 1981 team, which surrendered just four goals in its first 11 matches. Oregon's 0.55 goals against average is third in the Big Ten and ranks 18th nationally.
FOR THE OFFENSE
The Ducks' 19 goals through 11 games is the program's best offensive start since 2021 when the Ducks scored 21 goals in 11 matches. The Ducks lead the Big Ten in shot accuracy (.482) and are third in shots on goal per game (7.36). Oregon is fourth in goal differential (+13).
WHITE, ARGENTINA REACH ROUND OF 16 AT THE U20 WORLD CUP
Freshman forward Giselle White helped Argentina reach the knockout round of the 2026 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup in Poland.

Argentina opened the tournament with a 3-0 loss to Poland on Sept. 5 before advancing to the Round of 16 with an 8-1 decision against Benin on Sept. 8 and a 3-2 win against Mexico on Sept. 11. Argentina's stay in the World Cup ended in a 1-0 loss to South Korea on Sept. 16.
