The first Civil War of the year ended last night in a tie. The Oregon women soccer team battled the Oregon State Beavers and it all came down to a 1 – 1 tie. It was a come-from-behind tie for the Ducks as they tried to take down #21 OSU in Corvallis.
Head coach Tara Erickson was extremely pleased with the effort;
” We defended well all over the field and moved on both offense and defense. That was probably one of our most complete games of the season. Maddy Mercier, as an outside back, played awesome and Abby (Steele) played well in goal. Scout (Libke) and LT (Lauren Thompson) played very organized against some good Oregon State forwards and our younger players played great in their first Civil War.”
