Oregon Ducks soccer opened up the 2023 season with a home loss against the Baylor Bears, 0-2.
The ‘23 version of the Ducks bears very little resemblance to the ‘22 team. Of the 29 players on this team, 15 are freshmen or R-Fr. and 9 are sophomore or R-So. The team is almost all underclassmen; it can’t be overstated how much growing Oregon will be doing this season, and while no one enjoys losing matches, it’s all part of the learning process.
Four Fr./R-Fr. started the match, and another five Fr./R-Fr. substituted, so the Ducks brought in a lot of their youngsters.
