The team moved from Portland to Eugene in 2022.[4] Gabriela DeBues-Stafford left the club in 2022, citing lack of clarity around Shelby Houlihan's continued relationship with the team following Houlihan's doping ban and Schumacher's opposition to AIU and WADA.[5][6]
The professional team was disbanded in February 2025 after 12 years and reportedly producing 10 Olympic and World Championship medalists.[7]
