BOXSCORE

The Southern Oregon women's soccer team snapped a two-match losing streak with a 4-0 rout of Eastern Oregon today at University Field.

The Raiders are now 3-7-1 overall and 1-2 in Cascade Conference play. Eastern Oregon dropped to 3-5 overall and 3-1 in conference.

Southern Oregon wasted little time grabbing control of the match, scoring at the 1:01 mark of match on a long rainbow free kick from freshman Tori Chambliss (El Dorado Hills, Calif./Oak Ridge).

The score stayed 1-0 until the second half when SOU exploded, scoring three goals in 20 minutes.

Freshman Alexis Mahoney (San Clemente, Calif./San Clemente) made the score 2-0 with a series of one-on-one moves before finding the far left corner of the next. Nine minutes later, Mahoney scored again, this one from point blank range after an assist by Sara Switzer (Redondo Beach, Calif./Redondo Union) and a 3-0 lead.

SOU put the match out of reach as Stacy Szeto (Roseville, Calif./Oakmont) connected from six yards out after a throw-in from Chenin Young (Upland, Calif./Upland).

“Getting that first goal was really important and really helped our confidence,” SOU head coach Jon Clement said. “After halftime we did a really good job of raising our level again and taking control of the match. We really linked together today and we are capable of playing like this day-in and day-out.”

SOU blistered the EOU defense with 25 shots and 18 shots on goal. Mahoney finished with five shots on goal, while Szeto had four and Switzer had three.
