Your Oregon Ducks played host to the Utah Utes on Thursday night, trying to keep their unbeaten streak alive to start the season. The first half was a defensive battle, with both sides coming out to play right out of the gate and limiting the total combined shot attempts to just 7 between the two schools (4 attempts for Oregon, 3 for Utah).
The 2nd half was slightly more of a balanced game between the two sides, with the shot totals increasing to a combined 12 (7 for Oregon, 5 for Utah), including
a very close miss by Carly Cormack that was just wide of the left post about a minute into the 2nd half, and then a great save by the Utah keeper on another Cormack attempt in the 69th minute.
But finally, in the 79th minute of play, Savannah Holley would break through and put one in off her dome, from a great cross from who else, Carly Cormack, giving Oregon a 1-0 lead, and securing yet another victory for the Ducks.
We are a good few weeks into the season, and the Ducks still haven’t lost a match. That is a far cry from last season, and hopefully a great sign of things to come as Oregon prepares to head into conference play here in about a week. Let’s see if the girls can keep it going.
As always, ‘Sco Ducks.
