Ducks Rally to Tie No. 17 Colorado, 2-2
10/03/19 | Women's Soccer
BOULDER, Colo. – Oregon rallied from a 2-0 deficit in the final 19 minutes of the match to tie No. 17 Colorado 2-2 Thursday afternoon at Prentup Field.
How It Happened: The Ducks' comeback began in the 72nd minute when Chardonnay Curran corralled a deflected ball deep in Colorado territory and hooked a shot into the right side of the goal from the top of the box. It was Curran's first goal of the season.
Emma Eddy drew the Ducks (4-2-4, 0-1-1) even with a goal in the 86th minute. Chai Cortez crossed the ball in from the left corner and Ally Cook tipped the ball to Eddy, who flicked the ball in the net from five yards out.
"That was a fantastic second half," said Oregon head coach Kat Mertz. "I'm proud of our team for not giving up and playing relentless soccer in the second half."
Colorado (9-1-1, 1-0-1) took a 2-0 lead on goals by Taylor Kornieck in the third minute and Libby Geraghty in the 53rd minute.
In overtime, Cortez preserved the tie for the Ducks when she cleared a point-blank Colorado shot attempt off the goal line in the 107th minute.
Who Stood Out: Oregon goalkeeper Katelyn Carter made a season-high five saves, four in the first half, to help the Ducks earn the draw.
What It Means: Dating back to last season, Oregon has scored in a modern-era record 13 consecutive matches. The only longer streak in team history is a 25-match streak that spanned the 1980 and 1981 seasons.
Quotable:
Head coach Kat Mertz
"I'm disappointed in how we started the game. Hats off to Colorado as they had us pinned in. We made some adjustments and started moving the ball and unlocking their pressure."
Notable: Oregon has scored a modern-era record 22 goals in the first 10 games of the season. That's one better than the 2001 team, which had 21 goals through 10 games … Cortez and Cook became the 12th and 13th different Ducks to record an assist this season. It was the first career assist for both players … Eddy scored for the third time in 2019 and for the ninth time in her career … This was Oregon's fifth overtime match of the season, which is already tied for the second-most in program history behind only the eight overtime matches played by the 2014 team … Thursday's match was just the second time this season that more than half of the starting lineup was made up of juniors and seniors. The only other time that happened for the Ducks this year was the season opener at Fresno State.
Up Next: Oregon continues the Mountain road trip Sunday at Utah (noon, Pac-12 Live Stream).
