EUGENE, Ore. - The Oregon women's soccer team fell by a lone goal, 1-0, to the Oregon State Beavers on Friday afternoon at Papé Field in the 21st Civil War.

Quotes: Head coach Kat Mertz -
Reflections on the season…
"I'm just really proud of the team. I'm proud of the seniors and the fight that we had all season; there were some good moments for us starting the season with a bang and caught some injuries in the middle there. But, the resiliency from the entire team was a good showing for the program."
On what the returnees can take into next year…
"I think the seniors really passed on the willingness to believe in the program and the hard work it takes to play in the Pac-12. Every game is a championship game, so watching and learning from these seniors the past few years will really give them momentum heading into next year."
