September 04, 2023 | Women's Soccer
THE GAMES: Oregon State will play a pair of games this week, as the Beavers take on UC Irvine Thursday in Corvallis, before playing a road contest Sunday at Boise State.
FOLLOW ALONG: Thursday's game will air live on Pac-12 Networks with Ann Schatz on the call. Sunday's game will be streamed on the Mountain West Sports Network.
UP NEXT: The Beavers will return home for their final nonconference game of the season next Sunday, as Oregon State hosts Montana.
Quick Hitters:
- Four Oregon State players have made at least 40 starts during their time with the Beavers. McKenna Martinez has started all 43 games she has played at OSU, while Helena Brown has featured in the XI in 42 of her 55 games and Skylar Herrera has started 42 of her 55 contests. Sawyer Service is poised to reach the 40-start mark soon, having started 38 of her 40 games played.
- Caroline Duncan has played a whopping 80 games over the course of her collegiate career, spanning her time at Memphis and Oregon State.
- Oregon State gets back of a good chunk of production, after a handful of players missed  all or most of the 2022 season with injuries. Juju Barker, Helena Brown, Carly Carraher  and Caroline Duncan all return from injuries that held them out in 2022 for OSU.
- Oregon State has placed 24 of its 54 shots on goal, so far this season.
The Matchups:
- UC Irvine is the second Big West opponent the Beavers have faced this seasonl. Oregon State also faced UC San Diego in August.
- Oregon State topped the Anteaters in the teams' last meeting, with that coming in 2021. Valerie Tobias scored in that contest.
- Thursday's game will mark the fourth-straight home game for the Beavers
- Oregon State has never lost in three meetings with Boise State, earning two wins and one draw.
- McKenna Martinez scored both goals in a 2-0 win over the Broncos last season
Marvelous McKenna:
- McKenna Martinez is already making her way into the Oregon State record books. The forward is currently tied for sixth in program history with 24 career goals, and is eight in points with 55.
- Martinez is also third in multi-goal games and needs one more game-winner to crack Oregon State's top-10 for game-winning goals.
