Jessica Moore, Softball, 2010-13
One of the greatest to ever don an Oregon softball uniform, pitcher Jess Moore was a two-time All-American for the Ducks, earning first-team honors in 2013 and third-team recognition in 2012. A three-time all-Pac-12 first-team selection who was also a second-team honoree as a freshman, Moore owns the Oregon all-time records for appearances (176) and innings pitched (903.0), and ranks second for both wins (100) and strikeouts (915). She carried a career ERA of 2.08, including sub-2.00 ERAs as a freshman (1.86), sophomore (1.90) and senior (1.71). Moore was the 2013 Pac-12 Pitcher of the Year as a senior while earning first-team All-America honors, going 27-6 with 197 strikeouts, 13 complete games and five shutouts. She threw a five-inning perfect game against No. 17 Arizona on April 14, 2013, notching her first career perfect game and third career no-hitter while earning National Pitcher of the Week honors from the NFCA. Moore also no-hit Weber State across seven innings on March 19, 2011, and combined with Samantha Skillingstad for a five-inning no-hitter of Idaho State on March 26, 2010. Moore led the Ducks to 50 wins in 2013, the most for the program since a 54-win season in 1989. As a junior in 2012, Moore went 33-15 in the circle with a 2.58 ERA and a career-high 256 strikeouts while leading Oregon to its first Women’s College World Series berth since 1989. Moore earned third-team All-America honors after leading the Pac-12 in innings (303.2), starts (47) and appearances (52), and ranking in the top 10 in wins (2nd), strikeouts (3rd) and ERA (7th). She became the second Duck ever to earn a win at the WCWS with a complete-game effort in a 2-1 win over No. 5 Tennessee, after pitching the team past No. 8 Texas in the Austin Super Regional. Moore was 24-11 with a 1.90 ERA across 206.2 innings pitched as a sophomore, earning her first career first-team all-conference honor. Her 2011 season was headlined by a one-hit performance against No. 1 Arizona State, in addition to her solo no-hitter against Weber State. Moore burst onto the scene as a freshman in 2010, going 16-13 with a 1.86 ERA while throwing 192.0 innings across 41 appearances. She was a second-team all-Pac-10 selection and Pac-10 all-freshman honoree, while also earning the first of four straight all-Region selections. Moore was also a weapon at the plate for the Ducks across her career, belting six career home runs with 28 hits and 21 RBIs. Moore blasted a career-high three home runs as a senior in 2013.
