LAST WEEK: DUCKS TIE No. 5 MICHIGAN STATE, MICHIGAN
In her first career start, Anna Solomon made five saves to back a defensive line that shutout No. 5 Michigan State, 0-0, Oct. 10 in Eugene. Three days later on senior day, Grace Mensah scored her first career goal off assists from Sydney Hennessey and Taylor Person as the Ducks and Michigan played to a 1-1 tie.

GOLDBERG CLIMBS CAREER SAVES LIST
Maddy Goldberg made her 100th career save in the season opener against Seattle and currently ranks eighth in school history with 161. Goldberg passed Cody Miles (150, 2008-10) Oct. 5 at USC.

GOLDBERG NOW SEVENTH IN UO CAREER SHUTOUTS
Maddy Goldberg now has five career shutouts - four this season - and is seventh on the UO career list. She passed Domenique Lainez (2001-05) Sept. 22 at Maryland.

"GRANDMA SEASONS"
Coined by Taylor Bryan in the aftermath of her game-winner against Seattle, Oregon has seven players in their "grandma season" (fifth year) of eligibility thanks to the NCAA's Covid policy. In addition to Bryan, others playing their fifth season in college include Sydney Cradle, Lucy Green, Sydney Hennessey, Haley McWhirter, Makoto Nezu and Jayd Sprague. All seven of those players have NCAA Tournament experience - Bryan at Virginia Tech, Cradle with Towson, Green at Mississippi, Hennessey with Tennessee, McWhirter at Mississippi State, Nezu an NCAA champion with Santa Clara and Sprague at Idaho. Because they played in the 2020 Covid season and subsequently redshirted, both Bryan and Hennessey actually have another year of eligibility remaining and could return for a sixth season.
