Ducks Tie No. 19 Clemson, 1-1
09/06/19 | Women's Soccer
CLEMSON, S.C. – Maya Hahn scored for the third consecutive game and the Oregon defense held up against a barrage of shots from No. 19 Clemson as the Ducks emerged with a 1-1 tie against the Tigers Friday at Riggs Field.
Clemson attempted 25 shots and had 10 corner kicks, but Oregon's defense was up to the task to earn the tie with the undefeated Tigers (4-0-1). Duck goalkeeper Katelyn Carter made four saves while the defense in front of her turned away several other attempts.
How It Happened: Oregon (2-1-2) took the lead in the 42nd minute when Hahn, a freshman from Eastbourne, New Zealand, chipped home Eden Hardy's shot that deflected off a Clemson defender. The ball crossed in front of the goal to an opportunistic Hahn, who scored for the third time this season.
The Ducks nearly got on the board 10 minutes earlier when Hardy found Maggie Lacey with a perfect cross, but Lacey's header went just right of the net.
Clemson tied the match at 1-1 with a goal in the 74th minute when Mariana Speckmaier headed in a free kick.
The Ducks almost won the game in regulation when Ally Cook got behind the defense and beat Clemson's goalie, but her shot in the 90th minute bounced off the right post.
Who Stood Out: Center back Alyssa Hinojosa and the defense. Hinojosa played all 110 minutes in a physical game that tested Oregon's depth. Seven different players saw action on the back line at some point during Friday's match, but that group yielded just one goal on Clemson's 25 shots.
What It Means: Oregon earned a tie with a ranked non-conference opponent for the second straight year. The Ducks tied No. 18 Kansas 1-1 in 2018.
Quotable:
Head coach Kat Mertz
"We faced a lot of shots and a lot of pressure tonight and it took a collective team effort for the entire 110 minutes. I thought we did a great job with our team mentality to stay strong."
"Tough not to get the win and I thought we created some good chances, but at the same time, that's a good result against a high-quality opponent that's going to do very well in the ACC."
Notable: Hahn becomes the eighth player in program history to score a goal in three consecutive games … That list includes current teammates Jordan Wormdahl and Emma Eddy … Hardy's assist was her first of the season and fourth of her career … Wormdahl was held scoreless for the first time this season.
Up Next: Oregon stays in the Palmetto State to face Furman Sunday in Greenville (2 p.m).
