Beavers Dominate Season Opener
August 21, 2025 | Men's Soccer
CORVALLIS – The Oregon State men's soccer team opened the Jarred Brookins era with a dominant 3-0 win over UC Santa Barbara Thursday evening at Paul Lorenz Field.
Arnau Farnos recorded a goal and an assist in the match, after being named to the MAC Hermann Trophy Watch List earlier in the day. Nico Nee tallied a goal and an assist in his Oregon State debut, while Fabian Straudi closed out the Oregon State scoring. Straudi also recorded an assist in the contest, bringing his career total to 16 – tying him for fifth in program history.
Andrew De Gannes added a pair of assists, as the Beavers claimed their first victory with Brookins as Wicks-Street Head Coach.
Oregon State had a great scoring chance in the 15th minute, as Lucas Fernandez-Kim played Straudi in on goal, but the midfielder pushed his shot just wide of the right post. De Gannes followed that up in the 30th minute, firing one just wide of the target from 20 yards out.
Aidan Marquez headed one over the bar 10 minutes before the intermission. Farnos opened his account for the season just before the break, heading home a cross from Straudi to send the Beavers to the half up 1-0.
Oregon State doubled the advantage early in the second half, as Farnos played Nee down the right side. The forward slotted one home from the top of the box to put OSU up 2-0 in the 55th.
Fran Cortijo took aim in the 67th minute, but his effort drifted just over the crossbar. Straudi put the game to rest in the 72nd minute, with a strike from the right side. The Gauchos pressed forward in the closing moments, and hit the post in the 86th, but Beaver keeper John Nicolson kept the clean sheet in net.
As a team, Oregon State out-shot UC Santa Barbara 13-8 in the contest.
The Beavers will remain at home Sunday when Washington visits Lorenz Field.
