SEATTLE - Washington heads to Oregon for its first road series of Pac-12 play this week, taking on the Oregon Ducks in Eugene. The Huskies will look to secure their first Pac-12 wins of the season.
Washington leads the all-time series against Oregon 55-31 but were swept by the then-#2 Ducks in Seattle last season. Washington hasn't lost a series in Eugene since 2015. This will be the first time the Huskies face the Ducks under new head coach Melyssa Lombardi, who started 11-4 at Oregon.

GAB B GOOD |
| Gabbie Plain had her 23.1-inning hitless streak and 29-inning scoreless streak both come to an end last weekend. The scoreless streak was the longest of Plain's career and longest by a Husky since Taran Alvelo started 2018 with a 31.1-inning streak. The hitless streak was longest in UW history, buoyed along by the first back-to-back no-hitters ever by a Husky. This year, Plain has the same number of hitless appearances (seven) as appearances where she allowed multiple hits. |

TAT AT THE BAT |
| After an 0-for-3 day Sunday, Taryn Atlee had her hitting streak end after eight games. It was her third hit streak of six or more games already this year: she has gone hitless in just four of 27 games. Atlee has already surpassed her 2018 hit total in 32 fewer games and 58 fewer at-bats. |

SO MANY STRIKEOUTS |
| Taran Alvelo recorded her sixth double-digit strikeout game of the season last weekend and now stands alone in second place in UW history with 22 double-digit K games in her career. Alvelo has struck out 10+ in four of her last five starts, the only exception being a nine-strikeout, five-inning start against Idaho State. She needs 18 more strikeouts to be join Danielle Lawrie, Caitlin Noble, and Ashley Boek as the only Huskies ever with four 150+ K seasons. |

BLINK AND YOU'LL SIS IT |
| Sis Bates had two steals Saturday against #1 UCLA, including a steal of home to give UW the lead. Bates did not have a single multi-steal game in her career before this season: she has two in her last six games. Bates is a perfect 7-for-7, putting her ninth in the Pac-12 in steals and just two away from her career high of nine. |
