The Oregon women’s lacrosse team (2-3) hosts the Fresno State Bulldogs (1-5) at Papé Field on Saturday, March 15 at 2 p.m. The Ducks were unable to pull off a win against the Connecticut Huskies on Friday, March 14, losing 10-8 at their home opener. Although the Ducks performed in the first half with high energy and physical play, they failed to carry the momentum through the second half with the UConn Huskies in control. The Bulldogs are struggling in conference play (0-3), and have lost five straight games since their first victory on Feb. 6 against Monmouth N.J. Oregon looks for redemption as they take on the Fresno State Bulldogs, who just came off of a 12-6 loss to the Colorado Buffs on March 8.
Next up for the Ducks is a home game against Presbyterian at Papé Field on Saturday, March 22 at 12 p.m.
