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.
