ASU softball (23-9) will be traveling to Eugene, Oregon to face the undefeated University of Oregon Ducks (30-0).
The ASU softball team is looking to win their second conference series, though it will be difficult against a team like the Ducks.
ASU is coming off of their first conference win over Oregon State, where the team went 2-1 in the series
What Arizona State needs to look out for from Oregon is their offense because they are scoring runs, which is what is allowing them to win the games. If ASU wants to win at least one of these games and ruin Oregon’s record, they need to come out ready to play and be able to hit the powerful pitches.

There are lots of key players that ASU needs to be on the lookout for on Oregon. These players are Alexis Mack, Danica Mercado, Sammie Puentes and Nikki Udria. All four of these players have averages over .400.
