Final Road Trip of the Regular Season for Lacrosse

Apr 18, 2024

OREGON– Arizona State lacrosse (7-8, 2-3) wraps up the 2024 Pac-12 road slate with a matchup against the Oregon Ducks (7-5, 1-4) on Saturday, April 20. The game is slated to start at 12 p.m. MST and will be broadcast on Pac-12 Arizona. 

The two teams have faced off nine times in program history, with ASU holding the 6-3 edge. Two of the three ASU losses came in the first two meetings between the teams, though the most recent loss to the Ducks came last season in Eugene and halted the six-game win streak by the Sun Devils. 
.
Sun Devil Outlook:
Last week, the Sun Devils had a pair of games in Colorado and dropped both contests. The team fell 20-10 to No. 20 Colorado and 21-11 at No. 13 Denver, despite trailing the Pioneers by just two goals at halftime. Seven of the eight losses this season have come to ranked opponents. 

Sun Devil sophomore attacker Lydia Oldknow stayed hot with her eighth hat trick of the season against DU, which leads the team. She sits at 38 goals on the season and is the first Sun Devil with 50+ points this season. 

Scouting the Opponent:
Oregon has compiled a 7-5 record with first-year head coach Jessica Drummond this season. The Ducks have lost their last two games to No. 21 USC at home and unranked San Diego State on the road. All seven of Oregon's wins this season have come when the Ducks have scored 15+ goals. The five losses have come when the team scores 14 or fewer goals. 

Sun Devil Notables:

  • Sophomore attacker Lydia Oldknow has a team-high 38 goals and recorded her eighth hat trick of the season against DU on Sunday. 
  • With two regular-season games remaining in 2024, the Sun Devils have already surpassed their 2023 win total of six. 
  • Anna Thornton had back-to-back three assist games last week and sits at 15 on the season which is tied for 9th all-time in the program's single-season record books. 
  • Defender Gigi Gaspar scored her third goal in as many games against the Pioneers. Entering the game, she had two goals on two shots this season, both of which came against California.
