Englund played a key role in their wins during the 2010 season: in a match against Cal, he fired two shots on goal, showing his offensive presence, in addition to scoring the game-winning goal in double overtime against Cal State Northridge, securing a dramatic 2-1 victory for the Dons. The goal, a beautiful first-touch shot, came in the 108th minute after a precise pass from teammate Bryan Burke.

Visser on Englund: “We are very happy to add Oscar Englund. He’s a very technical striker, who combines very well and takes players on. He’s a scoring threat and I really feel that Oscar as a freshman will make an immediate impact and become a very good college player for the Dons (TopDrawerSoccer).”
The USF Foghorn wrote in 2010: In a double overtime thriller, the most exciting match of the season so far USF men’s soccer toppled Cal State Northridge 2-1 in double overtime. Sophomore forward Oscar Englund smashed a beautiful, first- touch shot into the back of the net to end what looked to be a 1-1 draw, in the 108th minute. Senior Bryan Burke used his astonishing speed to track down a header pass by Jeff Penna that looked to be surely out of bounds. Burke drew the Matador goalie off his line and found Englund at the top of the box, firing a perfect pass that allowed Englund to smoothly earn the Dons their second win of the season. Fans and alumni went crazy storming the field to celebrate the last minute victory.
