The women’s lacrosse team picked up their first MPSF conference win today against the Fresno State Bulldogs, winning 18-8.

The Bulldogs were first to score on a goal from Natalie Harrington. The Ducks immediately responded, going on a 7-0 run. Nikki Puszcz, Hayley Milner, Shannon Propst and Sami Kiser all scored for the Ducks.

Oregon went into the half with a 9-5 lead.

Turning Point. The Ducks continued their high tempo offense in the second half due to another strong performance from Propst. The junior from Maryland tacked on three goals in the early minutes of the second half, giving the Ducks a seven-goal lead. Propst had a career-high five goals for the game and moved to fourth on Oregon’s all-time list for assists.

The Ducks were ultimately too dominant on offense for the Bulldogs to find a way back in the game. The 10-goal victory was a crucial conference win for the Ducks.

On the Horizon: Oregon will play their last home game of the season on Sunday versus St. Mary’s at Papé Field. Before Sunday’s game, Oregon’s six seniors will be honored before the match. The first draw is set for 1 p.m.
