SEATTLE — Oregon State's redshirt-sophomore Emma Bergstrom scored her first goal of her career, to help the Beavers defeat Washington, 1-0 on Sunday afternoon. The victory is the first Pac-12 road win for OSU since the 2013 season and the first at Husky Soccer Stadium since 2010.

"Tremendous and gritty team performance today," said head coach Linus Rhode. "We've been close in so many conference games, so it was great to get another win."

Oregon State (7-10-2, 2-8 Pac-12) tallied five shots in the match, paced by junior Kayla Latham and Bergstrom, each fired a shot on goal. Junior goalkeeper Bella Geist was solid between the pipes, recording her third shutout of the season, while tallying seven saves after seeing 17 Huskies shots.

Washington (7-11-1, 2-8 Pac-12) took eight shots in the first half, with only three being on mark as the match was scoreless after the first 45 minutes.

The Huskies started the first 15 minutes of the second half taking three shots, including a pair that were saved by Geist. The Beavers took to the offense in the 60th minute as freshman Taylor Lemmond was fouled by the Husky goalkeeper to set up a free kick just outside the 18. Bergstrom took the kick and sent a rocket into the left side of the goal to give the Beavers a 1-0 lead.

Oregon State will close its season on Friday at Oregon with the Civil War match starting at 3 p.m. The match will be broadcast on Pac-12 Networks.
