Oregon State Defeats No. 3 Stanford, 2-1
February 28, 2021 | Women's Soccer
With goals by Weinert and Schwartz, the Beavers take down Stanford for second time in program history, and first time since 2003.
CORVALLIS, Ore. - For just the second time in program history, the Oregon State women's soccer team defeated No. 3 Stanford, 2-1, Sunday evening.
"I am so proud of our group," said head coach Matt Kagan. "We faced a ton of adversity coming off a tough loss on Friday and going down a goal today to one of the top teams in the nation. This was a program win."
The first 25 minutes saw the Beavers and the Cardinal going back and forth. OSU opened up the net for a couple of chances but was unable to get the shot off due to the Stanford defense.
In the 26th minute, a Cardinal player took a shot on goal, and in the ensuing scuffle, Samantha Williams scored the first goal of the game for Stanford.
The soccer teams returned to their back and forth for the final 20 minutes of the first half. Hungry for a goal, the Beavers were able to make three shots, including one on goal. Without finding the back of the net, Oregon State closed the first half down, 1-0.
The 10-minute halftime break proved to be just what the Beavers needed.
After pressing hard for 10 minutes, redshirt-junior McKenzie Weinert tied the score with a tip into the goal in the 54th minute. Freshman Amber Jackson headed a corner kick from senior Kaillen Fried in order for Weinert to tip the ball from just in front of the goalkeeper.
Stanford had a chance to take the lead in the 82nd minute. The Cardinal took a shot that made it past junior goalkeeper Bridgette Skiba but Fried was there to head the ball away from the net for a crucial save.
Just over a minute after the Cardinal's close call, sophomore Abby Schwartz scored the game-winning goal. Bringing the ball close to the end line, sophomore Brianna McReynolds passed to Schwartz to take the one-touch shot. Tipping off the goalkeeper's hands, the ball fell in the net.
Stanford outshot Oregon State, 15-6, with a 7-3 advantage in shots on goal. The Beavers' one corner kick of the game resulted in their first goal. Skiba out-saved Cardinal goalkeeper, Katie Meyer, 5-1.
"I am so happy for our resilient players and my staff," said head coach Matt Kagan. "We had many strong performances from many different players! Now, it is time to enjoy the win, recover, and get ready for another tough weekend in LA."
Oregon State will ride the high of beating No. 3 Stanford, for the first time since 2003, straight to Los Angeles. The Beavers return to play with a road trip to USC on Friday (Mar. 5) and UCLA on Sunday (Mar. 7).
