Three Beavers Score as OSU Defeats UC Davis
September 08, 2019 | Women's Soccer
Leblic, Weinert and Schwartz all score as the Beavers take down the Aggies
CORVALLIS – Oregon State women's soccer is off to the best start since 2010 after capturing a 3-0 victory over UC Davis on Sunday afternoon for the Beaver's fifth-straight victory.
"I thought it was a solid performance from our team," said head coach Matt Kagan. "I think it took us a little while to get into the game, which was disappointing, but the athletes continued to fight. We got almost everyone on the roster in the game today, which for being five games in is a tribute to our team."
Abby Schwartz maintained possession of the ball at the top of the box before dishing it Brianna McReynolds in the corner. McReynolds chipped one into the middle of the box that senior Paula Leblic got her head on that found the lower left corner of the goal.
"It was amazing to score the first goal," said Leblic. "Using my head to score a goal was something I have been working towards, and I was proud to finally accomplish that."
OSU held a 1-0 lead at the end of the first half after outshooting the Aggies, 10-5.
McKenzie Weinert doubled the Beaver's score early in the second half netting a goal in the lower left corner with her left foot from just outside the box.
Schwartz added the final goal for OSU in the 82nd minute of play. Taylor Lemmond fired the ball towards the goal and it reflected off Weinert in excellent position for Schwartz to catch UC Davis' keeper off balance to score.
"We didn't maintain possession as well in the first half," continued Leblic, "but after we scored the first goal, you could see our team open up and play our style. After the first half, we understood how they were playing and were able to attack and score two goals in the second half.
The Beavers finished the game with 22 shots from nine different players. In goal, sophomore Bridgette Skiba finished with two saves.
"We are still growing," continue Kagan. "I don't think we have even scratched the surface of who we can be. That is encouraging to us as coaches. We are all super proud of the team after another clean sheet and scoring three goals, some on the run of play and others off of set pieces, so we are happy."
Oregon State hits the road next week as the Beavers travel to Houston, Texas to face Houston on Thursday, Sept. 12 at 5 p.m. PT before taking on Rice on Sunday, Sept. 15 at 5 p.m. PT.
