No. 10 Cal Takes Down the Ducks
10/15/16 | Women's Soccer
EUGENE, Ore. - The Oregon women's soccer team fell 2-0 at Papé Field to the No. 10 California Bears on Saturday night.
The Ducks' record moves to 6-8-1 on the season and 0-6 in Pac-12 play. Cal is 12-2-1 overall and 5-0-1 in the Pac-12.
How it Happened: Arielle Ship, the reigning Pac-12 Player of the Year, converted a penalty kick in the 20th minute, to put the Bears on the board. The goal was her eighth of the season.
At the half, the Ducks and Bears were tied at three shots apiece. Cal had three corner kick opportunites, while Oregon had one. In goal, junior Halla Hinriksdottir had one save, while Emily Boyd made two for Cal.
In the 61st minute, Ifeoma Onumonu scored her eighth goal of the season after Abigail Kim set-up a perfect cross and found the back of the net from six-yards out.
Throughout the match, Oregon had four shots (two on goal) to Cal's 12 shots (six on goal). Oregon had two corner kick opportunities, while the Bears had seven.
Seniors Ashlee Schulz, Maryn Beutler, Marlo Sweatman and junior Abby Morrow all added a shot for the Ducks.
In goal, Hinriksdottir made four saves. Her record moves to 2-6.
What it Means: The Ducks are now 6-8-1 overall and 0-6 in Pac-12 play.
The first six Pac-12 teams that Oregon has faced – Stanford, USC, UCLA, Colorado, Utah and Cal – currently have a combined record of 67-14-5.
Though the Ducks have dropped six matches in a row, the team's RPI remains high. Oregon was 44th heading into the weekend.
Quotes: Head coach Kat Mertz -
On tonight's result…
"Cal is a good team and you have to give them credit. They're pretty talented up top and we saw that. They were able to get us on that counter-attack and kind of stun us a little. We've gotten through some really good opponents and we have to go back and focus on Arizona."
On the positives the team can take away from tonight…
"I think we were able to solve some things. We were able to build and make plays. There were some good moments out there and we just have to go back to work and get ready for Thursday."
Looking Ahead: The Ducks will continue their homestand on Thursday, Oct. 20, as Arizona will travel to Eugene for a 4:00 p.m. match-up. Arizona State will face the Ducks at Papé Field on Sunday, Oct. 23.
