Ducks Fall to No. 1 Stanford 1-0 in OT
10/04/18 | Women's Soccer
EUGENE, Ore. — No. 1 Stanford took advantage of a free kick in the 100th minute and the Cardinal escaped Eugene with a 1-0 overtime win against Oregon Thursday night in front of 775 fans at Pape' Field.
"I'm gutted for our players," said Oregon head coach Kat Mertz. "We played 99 minutes of pure heart and discipline and we committed to the game plan. We created chances. In the 87th minute we might have tucked one away there, but give it to Stanford. They're a great team, they have so many threats. You give them a free kick at the top of the box and Catarina Macario is going to put it away."
How It Happened: With less than a minute remaining in the first overtime period, Stanford was awarded a free kick just outside the Oregon penalty box when Jazmin Jackmon and a Stanford player collided while both were trying to head the ball.
On the free kick from 24 yards out, Macario curled the ball over Oregon's defensive wall and just out of the reach of goalkeeper Halla Hinriksdottir for the game-winner.
"It's tough," said Jackmon. "We were disciplined the entire 99 minutes. We worked our butts off. I am proud of every single person who stepped on the field or who didn't. But that's tough. That's how soccer goes. Calls are made and they put their best player on the ball and she put it in the net. At the end of the day, we are going to wake up tomorrow and be extremely proud of ourselves."
The Ducks had a pair of decent chances to find the net, one early and one late. In the 19th minute, Bayley Bruner sped to an opening on the right side for a look at the goal, but with a Stanford defender on her hip, tipped a shot wide left.
In the 87th minute, Nicole Seaman found Emma Eddy on a cross right in front of the goal, but Eddy's redirect went just wide.
Who Stood Out: It was a disappointing result to an otherwise stellar night for the Duck defense. Stanford outshot the Ducks 23-8, but close to half of those attempts (nine) were blocked by Duck defenders and never even got to the goal line.
And of Hinriksdottir's six saves, only one came on a shot after a Stanford player got behind the UO back line. That happened in the 38th minute when Hinriksdottir turned away Carly Malatskey's shot from five yards out with a two-handed save.
Eddy led the Ducks with three shots.
What It Means: Oregon learned it can play even with the best team in the country for 90 minutes and then some.
Quotable:
Head coach Kat Mertz
"The one thing is, is that we have to take this and go into Sunday full steam ahead. We're a hard team to play at home, and the crowd did a good job, the players did a good job, our bench did a good job. The energy was there and we have to make sure we match this energy and bring it even more on Sunday."
Senior Defender Jazmin Jackmon
"We set the bar with how we played. Our energy on and off the field. Going forward, this is our expectation."
Notable: This was Stanford's first trip to Eugene since 2013.
Up Next: Oregon hosts California on Sunday (1 p.m., Pac-12 Live Stream).
