Beavers Shutout Vikings for Kagan's First Win
August 24, 2019 | Women's Soccer
Schwartz, Studer and Weinert score for Beavers
HILLSBORO, ORE. – The Oregon State women's soccer team earned its first victory under head coach Matt Kagan Saturday afternoon, after shutting out Portland State for a 3-0 victory.
"I'm proud of the athletes," said Kagan. "We scored three goal while giving up zero. Afterwards I told the players it was a shutout in every facet since we didn't even allow them to get a shot off. We could have been a bit more efficient in the second half, but the coaching staff is happy with the athletes' effort. We have a massive test looking ahead to Villanova, so it's on to the next one."
Oregon State struck within the first five minutes as freshman Abby Schwartz put the Beavers on the board off a free kick taken by senior Ashleigh Fonsen just across midfield.
Sophomore Sydney Studer added the second goal for OSU in the 20th minute of play off a header from three feet in front of the goal that she fielded off a pass from Laura Galceran in the far right corner.
Redshirt sophomore McKenzie Weinert fielded a pass from Brianna McReynolds two minutes later that allowed her to punch one past Portland State's keeper. OSU maintained the 3-0 lead into halftime after attempting nine shots while not allowing the Vikings any.
"After the performance today, I am excited for what this team is going to accomplish and proud of what happened today," said Schwartz. "It feels amazing to score the first goal and the team is so pumped for everything that is yet to come. I feel honored to be a member of this team."
Oregon State came out firing in the second half, creating chances from Mylene Gorzynski, Marley Salveter and Weinert that were all just wide.
Oregon State continued to put on a strong offensive attack adding 14 more shots in the second half while maintaining control of the ball on the offensive side of the field for 69 percent of the game.
Oregon State finished with 23 shots on the game. Four came from both Weinert and Paula Leblic, while Galceran and Gorzynski each tabbed three. Seven other Beavers recorded at least one shot.
Oregon State is back in action next Friday at home at 5 p.m. against Villanova before hosting Saint Mary's on Sunday at 2:30 p.m. on the Pac-12 Networks.
