CHAD PATTESON/Emerald Oregon forward Megan Huss, who hadn't scored a goal going into Sunday’s game, led the Ducks with two goals and one assist in their 4-0 win against Oklahoma at Marist High School. Women’s soccer downs Sooners ■ GOALS: Oregon records its third shutout of the season and its second in the last three games By Ryan Frank Sports Reporter Two unlikely heroes led the Oregon women’s soccer team Sun day to a 4-0 win against Oklahoma at Marist High School. Midfielders Kristi Morris and Megan Huss came into this week end’s game without a goal in the Ducks’ 11 previous games, but the two players combined to score all four goals against the Sooners. “It feels awesome,” Morris said, “because I haven’t been able to fin ish (this season). I’ve had a lot of opportunities this season, and (to day] they finally went in.” Moms wasted no time when she scored the game’s first goal within the first minute off a corner kick by forward Sierra Marsh. “I had some great crosses,” Mor ris said. “The cross from Sierra was beautiful. It was right to my head.” The early score had Oregon head coach Bill Steffen a little worried. "We almost scored too early,” he said. “You don’t want to score that early because then you let up a little bit. Instead you would like to take a couple of minutes and feel like you earned it a little bit.” The score stayed at 1-0 until al most 20 minutes later when Mor ris struck again on an assist from Huss. “That cross from Megan was a good one,” Morris said. “Just the opportunity was there, and I final ly put it away. I think I have a little bit more confidence in my shoot ing because I have been working on it a lot in practice.” Stetten said the Ducks’ second goal of the first half was pivotal. "I was glad we got another goal in the half because if they come out of that half 1-0, they think ‘We’re in this thing.’ They start be lieving that they can win, and you don’t want the other team to start thinking that.” Steffen’s worries turned out to be unwarranted when Oregon continued to have its way with the Sooners in the second half. Huss scored in the 62nd and 75th min utes to put the game away. “It feels great,” Huss said of her two-goal performance. “I’ve been in somewhat of a slump lately, and it felt good to put two in." Oregon’s fourth victory of the season pleased Steffen, he said. “It was a good win,” he said. “Oklahoma is a very young pro gram, but it was good for us be cause we played like we should play. We kept our composure, and we could have, in a way, played down to their level. ” While Oregon’s offense pro duced 24 shots and controlled the ball for most of the game, the Sooners never fully mounted an offensive attack. Oklahoma fin ished the game with two shots on goal. “Defensively we knew that [Ok lahoma] wasn’t going to be as strong as Utah,” said Amanda Fox, Oregon goalkeeper. “But we knew it was going to be a tough game. It is always tougher when you are supposed to win and have to keep a shutout.” Fox’s shutout was her third of the season and second in the last three games. Oregon’s contest with Okla homa was its first since it downed Gonzaga 1-0 Oct. 4 and lost 3-2 to Utah Oct. 6. ign up on a new line of service before November I Ith. 1996 fAirTouch™ Cellular will waive your activation fee!
