The Oregon softball squad will head to St. George, Utah, this weekend in search of its fourth tournament crown of the season. The Ducks have won three of the four tournaments they’ve played in preseason action, and have a good chance to get No. 4 at the Red Desert Classic.
Oregon (12-5 overall) will be the only ranked team making the trip to Utah. The Ducks will face Utah State and Brigham Young today, then Arkansas and tournament host Utah on Saturday before closing the tournament against Alabama-Birmingham on Sunday. Arkansas already beat Oregon this season, a 3-1 battle at the Southwest Texas Tournament on Feb. 2.
This weekend’s tournament is almost the final preseason tournament for the Ducks. Oregon will head to San Jose, Calif., next weekend for a tournament, play a home doubleheader against Portland State on March 13, then open Pacific-10 Conference play at Oregon State on March 15.
