On a windy night when it was pouring down rain everywhere (but on Pape’ Field, of course) a power outage delayed the start of tonight’s final Oregon Women’s soccer match for 30 minutes. Rivalry games will not be denied, however, and when the juice came back on, the Ducks and Oregon State battled for 90 minutes in a tough, physical, back-and-forth game that ultimately ended in a 2 - 2 draw.
This was only the third game of the season in which Oregon could muster more than one goal. The Ducks had scored 18 goals in 18 games prior to the tilt against the Beavers but had married the low-scoring output with tight defense and outstanding goalkeeping.
