Dons Fight Hard in Tie at Oregon

EUGENE, Ore. -- Wrapping up their swing through the Pacific Northwest, the USF Dons women's soccer team (1-0-1) battled hard for 90 minutes creating many opportunities and giving the Oregon Ducks (1-0-1) all they could handle at Papé Field. The Dons got on the board first midway through the first half, while the Ducks answered after halftime in what ended up being a 1-1 tie on a warm afternoon in Oregon. 

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT:
  • The Dons were the more aggressive team from the opening kick as they totaled 11 shots to Oregon's two in the first 45 minutes of action from Papé Field.
  • USF's relentless attack was rewarded when Marissa Vasquez got the Dons on the board with a nifty corner kick that hooked perfectly in USF's advantage to lead 1-0 at the 24 minute mark. 
  • The intensity in the game picked up later in the second half with each side working hard to create opportunities on offense while stingy defense helped weather each side's attack.
  • Oregon was able to score the equalizing goal at the 61 minute mark.
  • Each side continued the back and forth affair among the warm and humid conditions, with the score finishing in a tie for the second consecutive season. 
NOTABLE PERFORMANCES:
  • Vasquez's torrid start to the 2022 season continued as she scored her fourth goal already on the season through just two games played. 
  • Sophomore forward Gabby Rizzo and freshman forward Lindsey Chau each were extremely active on the offensive side of the ball as they both totaled four shots on goal.
  • USF's entire offense was on the attack throughout Sunday's match as they intensified the pressure on the Ducks. The Dons outshot Oregon overall, 24-6, and in shots on goal opportunities, 10-2. 
CATCHING UP WITH COACH MILLINDER:
"It was a hard fought game on the road again. I thought we were better but at the end of the day we need to put away our chances we create. I thought the girls worked very hard and we are gaining confidence with every match. It's great to go undefeated on the road trip."

UP NEXT:
The Dons now return back to the Hilltop for their home opener against the Stanford Cardinal (1-0) on Thursday Aug. 25 at 7:00 p.m. Last season, USF traveled south to Palo Alto as they came up just short, 1-0, against the Cardinal. Tickets for the match can be purchased here.
