RE: away road trip to Oregon.
While Rueck and Graves are excellent coaches, I think that this year they may be slightly weaker than in years past. The Ducks have lost Endiya Rogers and Te-hina Pao-Pao to the transfer portal. In Corvalis key contributors, Bendu Yeaney and Jelena Mitrovic, have moved on to graduation - but they do still have a formidable trio in Reagan Beers, Talia Van Oelhoffen, and Timea Gardiner. I wouldn't be surprised if the Beavers surpassed the Ducks this season despite Chance Gray's and Grace Van Slooten's best efforts in Eugene.
In looking at the Pac-12 schedule, it looks like we have an inside track to the title as we have the fortune of only playing UCLA/USC and Colorado/Utah once each. I'd think that that gauntlet of teams will all be inside the Top 5/6 this year - so hopefully we'll find a way to come through unscathed against them.
