The Oregon soccer team didn’t get
any love from the Rose City
this weekend.
The Ducks fell 3-1 to Portland State
on Friday in Eugene and 3-0 to No. 4
Portland Sunday in Portland to move
their record to 1-7-1 on the season.
The Ducks felt they should have beat
en the Vikings on their home field, but
were overmatched by the highly-tal
ented Pilots on Sunday.
On Friday, Oregon outshot Port
land State and scored the first goal of
the match, but several bad breaks
led to the loss. With the score tied 1
1 and 10 minutes left in the contest,
Duck goalkeeper Sarah Peters mis
played a 30-yard indirect free kick
from PSLPs Jessica Shadle, and the
ball trickled through her arms into
the goal. Less than half a minute lat
er, the Vikings added another goal on
a 12-yard header from Gariy Sawhill.

“The other team got a fortunate
mistake, and we paid the price for it,”
Oregon head coach Bill Steffen said.
“Soccer can be a very cruel game.”
Oregon freshman midfielder Gar
lie Ashcraft scored the Ducks’ only
goal of the weekend 30 minutes into
Friday’s contest. Oregon’s lead held
for only two minutes, as Portland
State’s Karly Larsen booted a 17
yard goal with 15 minutes left in the
first half.
On Sunday, Oregon was out
matched by the fourth-ranked Pilots.
The Ducks managed only two shots
in the game, and only one of those
was on goal. On the defensive side,
Oregon faced 19 shots, 10 on goal.
Peters made seven saves, many from
close range.
The Ducks’ defense held Portland
off the Harry A. Merlo Field score
board for much of the first half, but
the high-powered Portland offense fi
nally broke through the Oregon wall
with 15 minutes left in the first frame.
Portland’s Emily Patterson finished a
cross from Lindsey Huie for the goal.
Ten minutes later, Oregon got its
only shot on goal of the match, a boot
from the left side of the goal that was
saved by Portland’s Lauren Arase.
The teams went to half-time with
the Pilots leading 1-0, but it didn’t take
long for Portland to increase its lead in
the second half. Less than two min
utes into the second frame, Portland’s
Kristen Rogers notched her first goal
of the season, a punch-in after a de
flected Pilot shot. Five minutes later,
Portland scored its third goal to finish
the game’s scoring.
The Ducks will head into confer
ence play with their worst preseason
record ever. Oregon will face Wash
ington and Washington State — two
teams that beat the Ducks by a com
bined 13-3 in four games over the
past two seasons — in Eugene next
weekend. Washington is ranked No.
12 in the country by Soccer America
magazine, while Washington State
isn’t ranked.
