PORTLAND, Ore. --- Portland senior Ariel Viera buried a shot into the corner of the net in the 65th minute and the Pilots nearly found the game-winner several times in the second half, but in the end the home side would settle for a 1-1 draw with the Oregon Ducks in an exhibition match played on Saturday night at Merlo Field.
Viera's goal came after the Ducks had taken a 1-0 lead in the 51st minute. The midfielder gained possession near the top of the box, made her way through traffic and finished inside the right post to level the score 1-1.
