Previously in the Pac-12 and now a member of the Big Ten, the Oregon Ducks were among the most successful and consistently impressive teams in the country this season. We’re talking about a team with more than 50 wins and fewer than 10 losses. This is a team that cruised through conference competition and posted a 19-3 Big Ten record. 

Oregon happens to be really, really good. So yeah, it makes a ton of sense that they made it all the way to the 2025 Women’s College World Series. They win games. They punish opponents. 

They’re really good at home (23-5 in Eugene this season) and also really successful away from home (16-2 in road games this year and then 14-2 in neutral site contests on the season). Nobody should be surprised that Oregon is one of the last eight teams remaining in competition at this point in this season. They certainly earned a spot in the 2025 Women’s College World Series.

But how exactly did they get to this point? Yes, they won a lot. But what does that look like?

2025 Women’s College World Series team profile: How did the Oregon Ducks make it to Oklahoma City? 

Oregon started the season by sweeping through the UNLV Desert Classic with ease, but the Ducks ran into a little bit of trouble when they met up with Arizona State and they suffered a 4-3 early season loss. How did Oregon respond to that narrow defeat against the Sun Devils? Well, the Ducks then went and won their next 16 games.

The Ducks beat Florida State on a couple of occasions, lost to Oregon State in an interesting way, and then started cruising through Big Ten play. March and April were largely defined by a ton of wins for Oregon, including the regular season series against the UCLA Bruins.

Oregon was able to keep rolling, but got bounced quickly from the Big Ten Tournament, and the Ducks responded by taking care of business in the Eugene Regional, quickly eliminating the Liberty Flames in the Super Regionals, and made it on to the Women’s College World Series.
