Jane Sanders Stadium was alive Friday and Saturday as the Oregon Ducks battled in the 2026 NCAA Regional. After an assertive 5-1 win over the Idaho State Bengals Friday night, the Ducks fell short on Saturday. They lost 4-0 as Mississippi State pitcher Alyssa Faircloth tossed a no-hitter. The loss pushed the Ducks into an elimination game Saturday night against St. Mary’s. As light rain fell, St. Mary’s bested Oregon in a 5-4 back-and-forth bout to end the Ducks’ season.
