Fonsen Scores, Beavers Shutout Lobos
September 05, 2019 | Women's Soccer
Ashleigh Fonsen scores her first career goal to help OSU win, 1-0.
CORVALLIS – Senior Ashleigh Fonsen recorded her first career goal to help Oregon State capture the 1-0 victory over New Mexico at Lorenz Field on Thursday night.
This win gives the Beavers a 4-0 start, the best in program history since 2012.
"It was just an awesome night for our team," said head coach Matt Kagan. "We have warriors on this squad. Every day they are adapting to new styles of play, new teams coming in here that cause us different problems and I am so proud of each and every one of them. Our backs and Bridgette (Skiba) are doing outstanding work on the defensive end to give us another shutout. Just an overall amazing night for our team."
Following an hour long lightning delay, there was little action on either side of the ball in the first half with both teams only combining for eight total shots: OSU three and UNM five. Bridgette Skiba came up with two impressive saves for the Beavers in the first half making a diving catch in the sixth minute and a jumping catch to knock the ball over the top of the goal in the 36th.
Fonsen netted her goal in the 52nd minute of play from 10-yards outside the 18-yard box. Fonsen punched the shot through multiple defenders and past the keeper to give OSU the lone goal of the night.
"That was one of the most physical games we have seen this year," said Fonsen. "We came out and competed really well and as a team. This win feels amazing and means so much to everyone on this team."
Skiba continued to work in goal for the Beavers finishing with five saves in goal on the night and earned her third shutout this season.
"This win was such a team effort," said Skiba. "We didn't have many opportunities, but we made sure to capitalize on them. We played through every minute as strong as we could. We knew coming in how physical of a game it was going to be, and I felt we stepped up to the new challenge and brought it to the next level."
Oregon State finished with nine shots on the night with two coming from McKenzie Weinert and Taylor Lemmond each and additional shots coming from Paula Leblic, Sydney Studer, Brianna McReynolds and Skylar Herrera.
Oregon State is at Lorenz Field on Sunday at 1 p.m. as the Beavers host UC Davis.
