Last season, Oregon softball reached the Oklahoma State Super Regional, and even though they lost in the opening round it was a tremendous improvement over the 2022 season. It was made possible in part due to the addition of pitcher Morgan Scott following the pitcher exodus at the end of the 2022 season. Scott added a second ace pitcher to go along with Stevie Hansen; a vital piece to 2023 that was missing in 2022.
That Super Regional brought to a close the Oregon careers of catchers Terra McGowan and Karissa Ornelas, infielder Katelyn Howard, and outfielder Kyla Morris.
