Not as many Pac-12 teams compete in lacrosse as they do in most other women’s sports - there are only six lacrosse teams: USC, Stanford, Arizona State, Colorado, California, and Oregon. Going into her fifth year as head coach, Chelsea Hoffman had been vying with the Bears for last place in the Pac-12 standings in her previous four seasons. In 2019, Oregon posted a 3-15 (1-9 Pac-12) record and was in last place. The next season was a scratch due to the pandemic, same as all other sports. 2020-21 was also shortened, but the Ducks did improve to 3-9.
