Oregon (7-10-2, 3-7-1) broke a six-game losing streak in their final match of the 2014 season with a 2-1 win at home over Oregon State (0-17-3, 0-11-0).

The Beavers were the first to get on board after Oregon senior defender Riley Smith knocked one into her own goal in the 26th minute.

Oregon gained the equalizer in the 43rd minute to bring the game to 1-1 when senior forward Bri Pugh drilled a ball off of a corner kick into the back of the net.

The Ducks clinched the game in the 83rd minute on a beautiful set piece set up by senior Lilly Archer and headed in by freshman Ashlee Schulz.

Tonight’s match also marked the last game for nine seniors, who were recognized prior to the start of Friday’s game.

“We aren’t playing next week in November, and that was the goal,” said head coach Kat Mertz following the 2-1 win. “But these seniors have really pushed us, and now it is just a matter of the tipping point for us.”

The Ducks have gone 19 seasons without an appearance in postseason play. Oregon finishes the 2014 season with three more wins than last season, including their first road win since 2012.
