Then Carter made six saves against both USC and UCLA in a pair of tough 1-0 losses to those two top-15 teams last weekend. Carter recorded a career-high nine saves Oct. 24 at Arizona.

Prior to that, she scored in three of four games - Villanova (Sept. 1), Furman (Sept. 8) and Portland (Sept. 13) - and had a 90th minute strike bounce off the post at No. 19 Clemson (Sept. 6) in between the Villanova and Furman matches. Cook scored the game-winning goal against Villanova.

HASENAUSER HAS A SHOT

Hasenauer netted her first goal as a Duck, finishing her own deflected shot, Aug. 30 against Portland State.

She followed that by scoring the game-winner Sept. 8 at Furman in the 86th minute. He third score of the year tied the Sept. 22 match with Buffalo, a game the Ducks won in extra time. Hasenauer has attempted at least eight shots three different times this season (Portland State, Buffalo, California).

SAKI SETTING THEM UP
