Oregon soccer played their second match of a four-game road trip in Springfield, MO, against the Missouri State Bears (3-0-1).
The Ducks (0-2-1) overcame some uninspiring play in the first third of the match. In the initial 30 minutes, Oregon did not have any shots or corner kicks because, well, they weren’t playing by the Bears goal. Meanwhile, Missouri State had four shots and a corner kick under their belt when Ajanae Respass picked up Oregon’s first shot at the 30:47 mark.
From that point on, Oregon’s ball movement and penetration into the Bears’ box was much improved.
