Oregon Softball opened their season with a win on Friday night in the Puerto Vallarta College Challenge with an 8-0 win over Utah Valley.
Pitchers Jordan Dail and Brooke Yanez combined to give up just one hit and nine strikeouts throwing 59 of their combined 83 pitches for strikes. Oregon saw their offense step up early scoring four runs in the first inning and two in the second.
Allee Bunker and Terra McGowan were key players in the game. Bunker was 2 for 4 with a home run and three runs batted in. After waiting a year to play in an Oregon Uniform, McGowan wasted little time hitting two doubles and scoring two.
