Ducks Close Out Nonconference Schedule at Seattle U.

Oregon wraps up the nonconference portion of the season with a visit to Seattle U. Friday at 7 p.m. (ESPN+). The Ducks lead the overall series, 3-1-0, including a 1-0 win in the 2024 season opener.

BACK OF THE NET
• Oregon has allowed just four goals through its first six games (0.67 GAA). That's tied for the second-fewest goals allowed in the modern era (1996-present). It's also the best defensive effort by a Duck team since 2018 (also 4 goals in 6 games).
• The Ducks fired off 30 shots Sunday against Grand Canyon, the most for Oregon in six years and tied for the fourth-highest single-game total in program history. Several Ducks set or tied career highs in shots, including Lauren Kenny (6), Cloe Chase (5), Carly Cormack (5) and Ella Osmussen (3).
• Six different players have scored for the Ducks this season. In the Aug. 24, 3-0 win against Hawai'i, fifth-year players Sydney Chura and Cailin Bloom registered their first career NCAA goals (Chura scored 74 goals at the NAIA level).
• Carly Cormack also found the net against Hawai'i, scoring a goal on the same field where she won the 2024 high school state title.
• Tracy Joyner now has a 129-80-28 career record. Prior to Oregon, she built winning programs at a junior college (42-15-7 at Santa Rosa JC), at an NCAA Division II school (36-25-12 at San Francisco State) and at the DI level (49-37-8 at UC Davis).

STRONG DEFENSIVE SHOWING THROUGH SIX GAMES
Oregon has allowed just four goals through its first six games (0.67 GAA). That's tied for the second-fewest goals allowed in the modern era. The 2018 season was the last time the Ducks did that.

SHOTS FIRED
Oregon attempted 30 shots Aug. 31 against Grand Canyon. That was the most by the Ducks since getting off 36 shots against Portland State in 2019. It was also tied for the fourth-highest single-game total in program history. Several Ducks set or tied career highs in shots, including Lauren Kenny (6), Cloe Chase (5), Carly Cormack (5) and Ella Osmussen (3). Oregon has out-shot the opposition in five of six games this season and ranks fifth in the Big Ten at 17.2 shots per game.

CORMACK SCORES IN SPECIAL HOMECOMING
Sydney Chura took advantage of a defensive mistake to score early and Hawaii native Carly Cormack scored a goal on the field where she won the 2024 state high school championship as the Ducks closed out the Outrigger Soccer Kickoff with a 3-0 victory over Hawai'i Aug. 24 at the Waipi'o Soccer Complex. Cailin Bloom added a late goal in the 88th minute, the first career goal for the fifth-year player from Dixon, Calif. Oregon bounced back from a disappointing 1-0 loss to Sacramento State (Aug. 21) to claim the Outrigger Soccer Kickoff title by virtue of goal differential (plus-2). It was Oregon's first win in four tries against Hawai'i.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRACE FOR TAYLOR BRYAN
Taylor Bryan helped Oregon win its 2025 season-opener by scoring two goals on her birthday - Aug. 14 - in the Ducks' 4-0 victory over Weber State. She scored Oregon's first goal in the 19th minute and its third in the 66th minute. It was Bryan's second career two-goal game and her first as a Duck. Her other brace came Oct. 22, 2022, against Virginia when Bryan was at Virginia Tech. In addition to Bryan, freshman Miya Alamares scored her first career goal against the Wildcats, while Lauren Kenny knocked in her second. Sydney Chura, Carly Cormack and Alexis Cockrill-Gonzalez all recorded assists in the season opener. In goal, Caeley Goldstein made seven saves to earn the win.

SCORE FOUR
By scoring four goals in the opener against Weber State on Aug. 14, the Ducks reached a handful of benchmarks.
* The four-goal margin was the biggest ever for a head coach in their first game at Oregon in the modern era (1996-present).
* It was the most goals scored by Oregon since a 4-2 defeat of Northern Arizona on Aug. 29, 2021.
* It was the most goals in a season opener, as well as the Ducks' largest margin of victory, since a 5-0 defeat of Fresno State on Aug. 19, 2021.

DUCKS SHUTOUT PORTLAND
Oregon held Portland to just two shots on goal in a 0-0 tie versus Portland on Aug. 17. Caeley Goldstein made two saves to earn her 21st career shutout (and first at Oregon).
