The Oregon softball team signed Nebraska transfer Hailey Decker, the Oregon athletic department announced Thursday morning. Decker will be able to play for the Ducks immediately next season.

“We are extremely excited to have Hailey on board,” Oregon head coach Mike White said in a press release. “She will make an immediate impact in the middle of our lineup. We recruited her heavily out of high school and it’s very nice to be able to bring an in-state player back to Oregon.”

Decker is a native of Keizer, Oregon and just finished a successful sophomore campaign as an infielder for the Cornhuskers. Decker was named first team All-Midwest Region, first team All-Big Ten and academic All-Big Ten last season, in which she hit 14 home runs and posted team-highs in batting average (.369), hits (80), doubles (21) and RBIs (53).

Decker faced the Ducks as a freshman for Nebraska during the 2013 NCAA Super Regionals in Eugene. She went 3-for-10 with two doubles to help lead the Cornhuskers to a series victory over Oregon.
