The Utah softball team capped off a successful regular season last week, defeating the no. 3 ranked Oregon Ducks in Eugene. It marked the first time in 17 tries Utah had defeated the Ducks and was also the highest ranked opponent Utah has beaten away from Salt Lake City since coach Amy Hogue took over in 2008.
The win capped off an excellent regular season for the Utes, who finished 32-19 and ranked no. 25 in the USA Today/Coaches Poll. The ranking at the end of the regular season is just the third time the program has ended the year in the rankings.
