Charles Fischer Administrator No. 1 Share Posted September 29, 2021 My friends, we are not going to have tons of posts about "other" sports often, but when they are excelling as the No. 11 Womens Volleyball team and now this Soccer team--we gotta feature it on occasion. Cristobal would love the way these women play, as they play tough defense and thus are unbeaten in this season! KEY STORYLINES • The Ducks are undefeated through their first nine games of the season (5-0-4) for the first time since 1981. • Dating back to last season, Oregon is unbeaten in its last 11 games (6-0-5). That is the second-longest streak in program history, behind only a 21-match unbeaten streak (17-0-4) over the course of the 1980 and 1981 seasons. • Oregon has scored 18 goals in 9 games in 2021. Contrast that to last season when the Ducks found the net 12 times in 16 games. • Last Friday, Oregon shutout No. 3 UCLA in a 0-0 draw in Los Angeles. It was the first time the Bruins had been shutout at home in more than three years. Leah Freeman (goalkeeper) and Chai Cortez (defender) were named Pac-12 players of the week. • Oregon notched several milestones versus the Bay Area schools a season ago. The Ducks won for the first time at Berkeley (1-0), defeated No. 3 Stanford for the first time ever in the first meeting of the year in Eugene (2-1) and shutout the Cardinal for the first time (0-0) in a game played at The Farm. Oregon went undefeated on the Bay Area trip for the first time ever. • The Ducks and goalkeeper Leah Freeman have four shutouts in the last five matches. Freeman ranks second in the conference and 17th nationally with a 0.45 goals against average. The Berkeley, Calif., native also ranks second in the conference and 16th nationally in shutouts with five. That is just two shy of the UO single-season record of seven. (Information and picture courtesy of GoDucks.com) The Ducks will face California at 7 p.m. on Thursday and No. 7 Stanford at 1 p.m. on Sunday. Both matches will be on Pac-12 Network.

Smith72 Moderator No. 2 Share Posted September 30, 2021 The University of Oregon Athletic Department is awesome. All the sports men's and women's teams are excelling. Very few universities can match Oregon's academic excellence and the well rounded nationally prominent sports! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
