Romero Moves To No. 1 In World Amateur Golf Rankings -
EUGENE, Ore. - Oregon women's golf star Kiara Romero took over the No. 1 spot in the World Amateur Golf Rankings on Wednesday as the reigning Big Ten Golfer of the Year prepares for her junior season with the Ducks. Romero spent much of the last year at No. 3 in the world rankings before ascending to the top spot after Florida State's Lottie Woad and Mirabel Ting both turned professional.The 2024 Big Ten Women's Golfer of the Year, Romero became the first Duck ever to be a two-time, first-team all-American while putting together a sensational sophomore season. She shattered her own UO single-season records for scoring average (69.91) and birdies (138) while leading the Ducks to the match play semifinals at the NCAA Championships for the second year in a row.Romero became the third Duck ever to win an individual conference championship in 2024, capturing the Big Ten title with a 7-under 209. She followed that up with a 16-under 200 to earn individual medalist honors at the NCAA Gold Canyon Regional, posting the second-lowest 54-hole score in program history on the strength of the lowest round ever by a Duck with a 10-under 62 in round two. On the season, Romero recorded a pair of wins, four runner-up finishes, nine top-10 finishes and 11 top-20 showings in 11 tournaments. She was the top Duck on the leaderboard at the NCAA Championships in a tie for eighth at 5 under, breaking her own UO individual 72-hole scoring record from 2024. In 32 rounds of stroke play, Romero shot par-or-better 26 times with 16 sub-70 performances. Romero took the nation by storm as a true freshman in 2023-24, becoming the first Duck to be named the national freshman of the year and just the second to earn first-team all-America honors. She was an all-Pac-12 first-team selection while posting a 70.84 scoring average, 118 birdies, two wins and nine top-20 finishes in 10 stroke play tournaments. Through her first two seasons in Eugene, Romero has shot par-or-better in 50 of 63 rounds of stroke play with 24 sub-70 performances.The Ducks currently boast three players in the top 50 of the World Amateur Golf Rankings, with rising sophomore Suvichaya Vinijchaitham coming in at No. 18 and rising junior Karen Tsuru at No. 47.

Emeralds Bats Stay Red Hot With 3rd Straight Win Against Everett -
EVERETT, WA – The Emeralds defeated the Everett AquaSox by a final score of 8-2. Eugene has now won the first 3 games of the series and have ensured a series split at worst on the road with a chance to win the series this weekend. Eugene has scored 29 runs and tallied 42 hits in the first 3 games of the series. They have a total of 7 home runs and have hit 2 grand slams. The Ems are now 4-1 in the 2nd half.

Everett got on the board first for the first time this week. Freuddy Batista got hit by a pitch with 2-outs in the 1st inning and Luis Suisbel singled to put runners on the corners for Josh Caron. Caron hit a ground ball to the 3rd baseman Dayson Croes but Croes' throw was a little off line so Batista came home to score.

Eugene went 9 up and 9 down to start the game but got on the board to tie up the game in the top of the 4th inning. Jonah Cox hit a 1-out single and swiped his NWL league leading 32nd stolen base of the year. Jack Payton hit him home on a single to right field to tie up the game in the top of the 4th. Everett got the run back in the home half of the inning after Josh Caron reached 2nd base on a throwing error from Jose Ramos to start the frame. He was able to advance into 3rd base on a wild pitch and scored on a sac-fly from Tai Peete to give the Frogs a 2-1 lead after 4 innings.

In the 5th inning Eugene was able to flip the game on its head. Quinn McDaniel singled to start the inning and Dayson Croes roped a single out to left. Jose Ramos drew a 4 pitch walk to load up the bases for Luke Shliger. Shliger wasted little time as he crushed a grand slam to right field. The grand slam traveled 352 feet and had an exit velocity of 106 mph. It was the 2nd grand slam of the week for Eugene and their 3rd overall of the year. Shliger has now hit home runs in consecutive games this week. It was the 2nd grand slam for Shliger in his career as an Emerald, and his 1st one actually came at this very same ballpark in Everett in his Emeralds debut last season in his 1st ever plate appearance. It was the 7th home for the Emeralds this week.

The inning didn’t stop there as Scott Bandura singled and swiped his 26th stolen base of the year. Bandura is now 26/27 on the basepath this season and only trails Jonah Cox in the Northwest League. With 2-outs Bo Davidson ripped a single out to right field on a 2 strike count to score Bandura and push home the 5th run of the inning for Eugene. It was great to see Davidson deliver his first hit of the night in his first game action since last Friday.

Eugene added another pair of runs in the 7th inning. Scott Bandura hit a single and Jonah Cox was able to rip a double out to left field. Bandura scored easily on the play for Cox’s 30th RBI of the season and the 50th run of the year for Bandura. Jonah Cox got caught in a rundown between 2nd and 3rd base but he was able to wiggle his way out of the pickle and made his way back into 2nd base. The next batter, Bo Davidson, hit his 2nd straight single and Cox scored easily to give the Ems an 8-2 lead.

Cesar Perdomo was dominant today on the mound as he picked up his 5th win of the season. He pitched 6 innings and allowed just 3 hits and 2 runs. Those 2 runs were both unearned however so Perdomo’s ERA has now lowered to 4.48 on the year. He issued just 1 walk and struck out 4 batters.

Ryan Vanderhei took over in the 7th and pitched 2 scoreless innings. He did allow 3 hits, but worked his way out of a tough jam to not allow a run. He didn’t issue a single walk and struck out 1. Ben Peterson took over in the 9th for his 2nd appearance as an Emerald. He struck out Tai Peete to start the inning and got a couple of popouts for a nice and easy 1-2-3 inning in his first full inning of work.

Eugene has been clicking all week long and that didn’t change here tonight. It’s been great to watch this team click to start the 2nd half and they’ll now have a chance for a series victory here this week in their first full 6-game series of the 2nd half with 1 more win this weekend.

The Emeralds will be back in action tomorrow night against the Frogs. Greg Farone will be on the mound for his Ems debut. First pitch is set for 7:05 PM.

Beavers Add Matija Samar -
CORVALLIS – The Oregon State men’s basketball team has added guard Matija Samar to its roster for the 2025-26 season, head coach Wayne Ti**le announced Thursday.

Samar is a 6-foot-6 shooting guard from Slovenia.

Samar has seen extensive action in the Slovenia national team system, most recently competing at the 2024 FIBA U20 EuroBasket. The guard averaged 9.7 points and 3.9 rebounds at the event, as the team made a run to the championship game. Samar scored in double-figures four times, including the final three rounds, with a 19-point showing against Belarus in the semi-final. In 2023 he averaged 9.1 points per contest at the FIBA U20 European Championship.

“We are really excited to add Matija to our program,” Ti**le said. “We’ve been working with him for a while and jumping through all of the hoops necessary for an international player. He’s a big guard that can play both of our wing positions. Matija brings a combination of maturity, toughness and skill, and his ability to handle the ball and score inside and out will help us replace some of what we lost from last season. We are thrilled to be adding him to the Oregon State family.”

Samar has spent the last three seasons playing in Spain, seeing action in 2024-25 with CB Ciudad de Ponferrada in the Spanish Segunda FEB. He led the league in scoring last season with 19.8 points per game, while also adding 4.0 rebounds per contest. Samar shot 35.5 percent from 3-point range on the season.

“I’m truly happy and grateful to be part of the Oregon State program,” Samar said. “I believe I’ve made the right decision, and I’m confident that together with the coaching staff we’ll take some great steps forward. It’s a real honor for me to wear the same jersey as our family friend and basketball legend, Teoman Alibegović — that truly means a lot to me. I’m really looking forward to the start of the season, meeting the team, the organization, and of course, the fans. Thank you to everyone who believes in me and has supported me on the way to this opportunity.”

Samar will be joined next season by fellow newcomers Yaak Yaak, Dez White, Malcolm Christie, Noah Amenhauser, Stephen Olowoniyi, Jorge Diaz Graham, Keziah Ekissi, and Olavi Suutela.

Ducks Make History with Three Academic All-Americans -
EUGENE, Ore. – For the first time in program history, three Ducks earned College Sports Communicators (CSC) Academic All-America honors in the same season.

Infielder Paige Sinicki and outfielder Kedre Luschar were named to the first team, while outfielder Kai Luschar was named to the second team.

The three seniors led No. 5 Oregon to a 54-10 record and a Big Ten regular season championship (19-3) in 2025. The trio were part of a Duck squad that won the NCAA Eugene Regional and Super Regional to advance to the Women’s College World Series for the first time since 2018.

They are the eighth, ninth and 10th Academic All-Americans in program history.

Kedre Luschar and Sinicki became just the fifth and sixth Ducks named to the first team, and are the first to merit that distinction since Koral Costa in 2016.

Kedre Luschar is also just the fifth player in program history to earn All-America honors both on the field and in the classroom in the same academic year. She was an NFCA All-America second team outfielder this season. Alexa Peterson first accomplished the feat in 2013. The incomparable Cheridan Hawkins was a three-time All-American and Academic All-American in 2014, 2015 and 2016. Costa also pulled off the double in 2016, while Allee Bunker did likewise in 2023.

Sinicki graduated from Oregon with 3.77 grade point average, earning her degree in human physiology. She had a career season at the plate in 2025 where she set personal bests in hitting with a .376 average, doubles (14), home runs (eight), RBI (50) and stolen bases (32). She made 193 consecutive starts at shortstop and was on the all-Big Ten first team and the all-Big Ten defensive team.

Kedre Luschar earned NFCA Second Team All-America honors while earning degrees in business administration and general social science with a 3.83 GPA.

She was a USA Softball Player of the Year Top 25 Finalist after leading the Ducks with a .435 average and 63 RBIs. She hit 17 doubles, five triples and seven home runs, while stealing 29-of-29 bases. Kedre Luschar was named to the all-Big Ten first team and the all-Big Ten defensive team.

Kai Luschar ended her career as the most prolific base stealer in Big Ten history. She led the NCAA with 60 steals in 2025 to break the Oregon and Big Ten records. She is just the 15th player in NCAA Division I history to steal 60 bases in a season. Kal Luschar also holds program records for career steals (108) and steals in a game (four).

She hit .415 as a senior and became just the second player in program history to finish her career with a .400 batting average (.401). Kai Luschar was named the NFCA Golden Shoe Award Winner as the nation’s best base stealer and was also on the All-Big Ten First Team.

She earned her degree in general social science with a 3.72 GPA.

This is the fourth consecutive year that the softball program has produced one or more Academic All-Americans under coach Melyssa Lombardi. Allee Bunker was a third-team selection in 2022 and second-team honoree in 2023. Vallery Wong was on the second team in 2024.

The only previous season that produced multiple Academic All-America selections for Oregon softball was 2016 when both Costa and Hawkins were honored.

The Academic All-America teams are selected by the College Sports Communicators (CSC) of America.

Neville becomes unanimous All-America pick -
EUGENE, Ore. – D1Baseballl released its All-America Teams on Thursday making Oregon outfielder Mason Neville just the third unanimous All-America selection in program history.

D1Baseball named Neville a third-team selection giving the Ducks’ leadoff hitter and centerfielder All-America honors from all five organizations sponsoring All-America Teams. Neville claimed a first-team All-America selection (NCBWA), a second-team honor (Perfect Game) and three third-team accolades (ABCA, Baseball America, D1Baseball) following a stellar junior season.

Neville joins David Peterson (2017) and Aaron Zavala (2021) as the only Ducks to earn unanimous selections to the All-America teams. Peterson finished with five first-team honors (ABCA, Collegiate Baseball, D1Baseball, NCBWA, Perfect Game) and one third-team accolade (Baseball America), while Zavala matched Peterson’s five first-team selections (ABCA, Baseball America, D1Baseball, NCBWA, Perfect Game) and added a second-team honor (Collegiate Baseball). Collegiate Baseball ceased operations after the 2023 season.

Neville, a semifinalist for both the Dick Howser Trophy and the Golden Spikes Award, finished the season leading the nation in both home runs (26) and home runs per game (0.46). The Ducks’ centerfielder slashed .290/.429/.724 with a 1.153 OPS.

A first-team All-Big Ten Conference selection, Neville shattered Oregon’s single-season home run record with eight more than the old record, while also setting a school record for slugging percentage and walks (53) as well as tying for the program record in runs scored (67). He ended his junior season as the Oregon career leader in slugging percentage (.699), while also ranking second in home runs (42) and fifth in on-base percentage (.405).
