CORVALLIS, Ore. – The first “pinch-me” moment for the Oregon State women’s soccer team came when the Beavers emerged from their locker room at Providence Park for a March 27 friendly against the Houston Dash.
“When we walked on the field before the game, we were looking around, taking pictures, just getting the vibe,” senior-to-be Helene Haavik said in recalling an unforgettable experience.
“Then when we went back into the locker room, there was a [scouting] sheet on how to execute the game plan,” photo breakdowns, and other trappings of soccer at the highest level.
