As they have in several recent games, Oregon’s defense absorbed a tremendous amount of pressure tonight against Washington State. While an early Oregon goal by Trinity Morales earned the Ducks a great start, they ultimately couldn’t hold the lead. Washington State scored early in the second half and the game ultimately ended in a 1 - 1 draw. It was another good night for Oregon goalkeeper Leah Freeman and the Oregon defense. Freeman made 10 saves and the Cougars peppered Oregon with 27 total shots. Oregon had just 7 shots.
FIRST HALF
The Duck jumped ahead 1 - 0 on the early strike from Morales, Oregon’s first goal in more than 300 minutes of Pac-12 play (note: the goal credited to Oregon in the Utah win was an “own goal” scored by the Utes).
