Huskers Take Loss at Oregon

Eugene, Ore. --- The Nebraska soccer team suffered its first loss of the season with a 1-0 setback at Oregon on Friday. 

In the first half, Nebraska and Oregon battled for just over 20 minutes before Oregon mounted a threat with Kyra Fawcett taking the first shot of the night. Nebraska goalkeeper Aubrei Corder came up with a big save to keep the game scoreless. 

Senior Sydney Miramontez took Nebraska's first shot of the game in the 32nd minute, but it was saved by Oregon's Halla Hinriksdottir. Courtney Claassen made another attempt to score two minutes later, but her shot went wide. Sydney Miramontez took a shot in the final minute of the first half, but it was saved by Hinriksdottir.  

The Ducks put a lot of pressure on the Nebraska defense, firing six shots in the first half, but the Huskers stayed strong to keep Oregon out of the net. Corder had three saves in the opening half to send the two teams to half in a scoreless tie. 

The game remained scoreless until the 64th minute, when Oregon's Abby Morrow found the net to give the Ducks a 1-0 lead. 

Oregon outshot Nebraska 9-7. Miramontez and Claassen each had a pair of shots, while Meg Brandt, Amanda McClanahan and Haley Hanson each attempted one shot. 

NU's Corder played the entire game at goalie and had five saves.
