Oregon infielder Paige Sinicki reacted just like so many others when the news of Oregon and Washington’s move to the Pac-12 was formally announced. After a back-and-forth, on again off again week, she woke up on the morning of Aug. 4 thinking it wasn’t going to happen, only for the news to come down late in the afternoon while she was sitting on her couch.
“It was pretty emotional at first hearing the news of the Pac-12 just because of the history it has and the presence it has with softball,” Sinicki says. “I’ve been committed to playing in the Pac-12 since I was 13. I think it was such an emotional reaction with other teammates as well because of how long I’ve been thinking about the Pac-12. It just hit me with a shock at first because I wasn’t expecting for sure this decision was going to happen.”
She took to Twitter to express her feelings in the moment.
