It took big games from Carly Carraher and Mya Sanchez, and a red card to Utah’s Devi Dudley, but the Oregon State Women’s Soccer team finally has their first win of the season, taking down the Utes 2-1 to move to 1-3-3 on the season.

It didn’t take the Utes long to get on the board, Right at the two minute mark, Mia Paugh picked up a corner kick from Ryann Cull and arced it into the top right of the goal, scoring on the first shot of the game.

The game stayed in Utah’s favor early in the first half, with the Utes allowing one Oregon State shot, but in the eighteenth minute Utah’s Devi Dudley picked up a red card for unsporting conduct, dropping the Utes to 10 players for the remainder of the game.

Being down a woman didn’t seem to slow the Utes. Kelly Bullock got a quick pair of shots off, while Oregon State struggled to find any scoring chances. Megan Turi finally got a good look at the goal in the 35th minute, forcing a save from Erin Gibbs

That would be the last shot of the first half, as neither side could mount much of an attack. The second half, however, started with a bang. In the 47th minute Mia Erba picked up a deflection and fired off a shot. Utah made the block, but it rebounded right into the goal to tie the game for the Beavers.

The Beavers were unable to keep pressure on after the score, and Utah began to retake control of the game. Even down a woman, the Utes still put a lot of pressure on the Oregon State goal, putting up a pair of shots in the 64th and 65th minute that just missed.

Oregon State didn’t quit, and a Mya Sanchez save in the 69th minute sparked a Beaver rally. In the 72nd minute, Carly Carraher fed the ball to Alyssa White along the edge of the field, and White found a gap to get the ball right back to Carraher, who put the ball into the top right of the Utah goal for a 2-1 Beaver lead. It was also Carraher’s first goal of the season.

Utah’s attack in the final 20 minutes of the game was aggressive, but being down a player limited their chances to tie the game. Grace Watkins forced a Mya Sanchez save in the 78th minute, and the rest of the Utes kept Sanchez busy, but none of their shots were on target. Oregon State held on for the final minute, sealing their first win of the season.

Oregon State has one last non-conference game on the schedule. They’ll face Fresno State next Saturday, with kickoff set for 12 PM PT.

Soccer-‘We missed him,’ says Guardiola, as Foden ends Premier League goal drought

SOCCER-ENGLAND-MCI-MUN/ (PIX):Soccer-‘We missed him,’ says Guardiola, as Foden ends Premier League goal drought

MANCHESTER, Sept 14 – Erling Haaland capped a remarkable week with two goals in Manchester City’s 3-0 drubbing of Manchester United on Sunday but the sight of Phil Foden opening the scoring was perhaps the most significant aspect of the derby win.

The England forward was voted PFA Player of the Season in 2023-24 when he scored 27 times in all competitions for City, including a double on the final day of the season against West Ham United to clinch a fourth successive title.

But Foden’s form vanished last season and the goals dried up and before Sunday his last Premier League goal was in January.

His struggles were one factor in City’s troubling campaign last season but there were signs on Sunday that he is emerging from his slump and that the joy, that manager Pep Guardiola said had gone from his game, is returning.

“We missed him so much last season. We need him so much,” Guardiola told reporters after City avoided a third successive defeat in the Premier League.

“When he moves behind the strikers, in that position, the sense of goal, the sense of turns, the quality to keep the ball.

“There are players that play behind the striker, and most of them pass the ball and stay and ‘look how good I make the pass’. He’s a guy who makes a pass to the penalty spot like an animal. When he doesn’t get the pass he’s angry, because he wants to score.

“We can’t forget two seasons ago he was the most important player in the Premier League and was the key player in that title. Last season for various reasons he could not be with us.”

Foden offered a glimpse of his old self when he scored twice in the FIFA Club World Cup at the end of the last campaign but injury niggles meant his only appearance since the start of the season was a brief cameo off the bench in City’s home defeat against Tottenham Hotspur.

Given a start on Sunday, Foden needed only 18 minutes to end his Premier League goal drought, heading in Jeremy Doku’s cut back for his seventh goal in Manchester derbies.

“Hopefully, step by step, he can get back to his best. The joy and happiness we see in his face every day lately. Now we are sure that we are going to see the best Phil.”

Haaland’s brace, taking his Premier League tally to five in four games, added to the five goals he scored for Norway in midweek against Moldova.

“Erling never disappoints us since he arrived,” Guardiola said. “Erling has the commitment, that is why he signed a contract for many years. He’s a special player.” Etihad Stadium England Manchester City Manchester United Manchester United PLC

Virginia Tech women’s soccer fell to Louisville Sunday afternoon, courtesy of a late goal by Cardinals forward Emersen Jennings that lifted Louisville to a 1-0 victory.

Jennings slipped past the Hokies’ (4-4-2, 0-2-0 ACC) back line to receive a great through ball by Liza Suydam to chip the ball over Lauren Hargrove to break the scoreless tie. That late strike marked the fourth time Tech conceded a goal in the final 10 minutes this season.

The match started with Louisville (8-2-0. 1-1-0) controlling possession and pace of play early, as ACC Co-Offensive Player of the Week Amelia Swinarski nearly put the Cardinals on top with a fifth-minute strike from just outside the box that just missed high.

The Hokies gained their composure following the slow start and started to build some momentum in the first half. Anna Weir almost had a career highlight as she made a great run in the 13th minute, breaking the ankles of the Louisville defender and puts a good strike on the ball that missed just wide.

Virginia Tech had some more chances in the first half, but nothing that really tested Louisville’s goalie Erynn Floyd. The Hokies led the Cardinals 4-1 in shots during the first half.

Louisville’s attack came alive as they came out of the half. The best opportunity at this point in the game for either team came in the 49th minute for Louisville’s Suydam. Forward Nicole Jodoin received the ball deep inside of Tech’s box and crosses it to the middle for Suydam who hit it right off the crossbar and out of play.

Another great opportunity for Louisville came shortly after for Fina Davy. She received a pass in the middle of the box and kicked it towards the bottom corner of the goal and Hargrove made a great diving save. Hargrove was Tech’s best player in the second half; Louisville simply received opportunity after opportunity to score.

The Hokies finally were able to get the ball on Louisville’s side of the field in the 75th minute. Lily Pantaelo made a run with Natalie Mitchell to her right. Mitchell then passed the ball to Pantaelo, who gave it right back to Mitchell. Mitchell then buried it in the back of the net. The line judge called the play offside, and replay assist confirmed the call.

Seven minutes later, Jennings delivered the game-winner.

Louisville managed only one shot in the first half but fired off 10 following halftime. The Hokies’ defense could not get the ball outside of their own half in the final 45 minutes.

The Hokies will look to earn their first ACC win on Thursday as they travel to Winston-Salem to take on Wake Forest. The game starts at 7 p.m. EST, and coverage will be on the ACC Network.
