\nFor the second time in as many years after two decades of postseason frustration, Oregon still has reason to wash its uniforms after an NCAA tournament regional. The Ducks captured their latest title with wins against Albany, Fordham and regional host Penn State and will travel to Gainesville to play in a best-of-three super regional against No. 4 Florida. As job reviews go, second-year coach Mike White isn’t going to have to sweat things out any time soon.<\/p>\n

“When I took over the job two years ago, it was a matter of trying to change the outlook and the perception of what we need to do,” White said. “Just trying to make it to the postseason was our first step.”<\/p>\n
