The Ducks got a trio of seniors to tally hat tricks in their regular season finale at Pape Field, leading Oregon to an 18-11 win over #16 USC for its first victory over a ranked opponent since 2008. Just a day removed from a blistering start against Arizona State that saw them score 14 points unanswered in the first half, the Ducks channeled their emotions and momentum into another strong half to open Sunday's game. USC would get on the board first, but the Ducks take over from there, holding a 10-3 lead at the break. The Trojans ended the half with two goals, but Oregon looked good out of halftime as well and would score four straight to hold a 14-3 lead. USC had a response, fighting and clawing for the remainder of the game, getting as close as five down with 10 minutes to play, but the Ducks' patient attack finally found its stride again to close out the win. Jojo Hesketh, who had just 10 goals coming into the weekend, led the way with five on Sunday, bringing her to a total of… Continue with AUDIO: Seniors Shine in Upset Victory for Oregon Women's Lacrosse.
