BERKELEY, Calif. – The Oregon State men's soccer team was unable to overcome California Thursday afternoon, as the Beavers fell 2-1 in their first Pac-12 defeat of the season.
Joel Walker found the net for Oregon State, notching his team-leading fourth goal of the season.
The Beavers held a 17-15 advantage on shots in the match, and controlled 57 percent of the possession.
California opened the scoring less than two minutes in on a shot that was scorched from the top of the box. Sofiane Djeffal narrowly missed leveling things just minutes later on a shot that curled just outside the post.
