EUGENE, Ore. - The University of Oregon soccer team fell 2-0 to No. 21 Washington State on Sunday afternoon at Pape' Field. The Cougars improved to 12-4-1 (5-1-1) while Oregon dropped to 8-9-1 (0-7-0) following the game.
The Cougars scored both of their goals with 1:27 of each other late in the first half. On the first score Jacquelyn Roth set up Ali Fenter for a goal after an Oregon yellow card gave the Cougars a set piece from 20 yards out. On the second goal, Kiersten Dallstream slotted a pass through the Ducks' defense toward the far post where Carly Dobratz finished off the play.
Oregon outshot Washington State 10-9 while the Cougars held a slim 2-1 advantage in cornerkicks and both teams were whistled for one offsides infraction. UO's Taylor Jones took the yellow card in the 41st minute.
This was the final home match for four senior Duck athletes, Dani Oster, Danielle Sweeney, Adriana Montes, and Teresa Bowns. All four saw action in the game.
“Each one has brought something different. The Pac-10 is tough, and they helped to keep us in it and kept us in games. I appreciate all of their hard work,” head coach Tara Erickson said.
Upcoming for Oregon is the final road trip of the season to play Arizona at 7pm on Friday, November 7th, and Arizona State at 1pm on Sunday, November 8th.
