Caitlin “Fitz” Fitzgerald delivered a standout doubleheader performance for Oregon Soar, making her mark on both sides of the disc.
Against Utah, she posted 4 goals, 3 blocks, and 273 total yards, setting the tone with relentless defensive pressure and efficient offense.
She followed it up against Colorado with 2 goals, 4 assists, and 394 yards, showcasing her versatility and ability to impact every possession.
Already leading Soar in goals and blocks while ranking top five across multiple stat categories, Fitzgerald has quickly become a centerpiece of Oregon’s early-season success.
And it’s no surprise—her pedigree speaks for itself. A former Callahan nominee at the University of Kansas and a veteran of Portland Rising (PUL), Fitzgerald brings elite experience, leadership, and intensity every time she steps on the field. Whether laying out for blocks or driving the offense, Fitz is setting the standard for Soar in 2026.

For Utah, this is about resilience. Whether still chasing their first win or building off a breakthrough, Saturday presents another opportunity to define their season —while Oregon looks to defend home turf and make their own statement.
