The Oregon soccer team has struggled all year scoring goals, but when they headed down south to play USC on Friday they came out hot.

In just the fourth minute, the Ducks were on the board after a breakaway goal from Kristen Parr. Parr is now tied with teammate ShayLee Miner with the most goals on the team with three. Though she has been an offensive leader all season, she led the team with seven goals last season. It would be the only goal Oregon would tally against USC, though, as they eventually fell by a final score of 2-1.

USC stunned the Ducks when Katie Johnson scored in the 79th minute. The Ducks were winning for 75 minutes in regular time, but Johnson’s late goal would send this Pac-12 contest into overtime. Though leading for so long during regular time, the Ducks failed to keep and maintain possession after Parr scored the opening goal.

The Trojans kept momentum and scored less than a minute into the first overtime period to end the game. In the 99th minute, Trojans forward Kayla Mills found space on the right side and shot the ball toward the far post and into the back of the net.

Oregon finished with just nine shots compared to USC’s 30. Bri Pugh was held in check, taking only two shots with one on goal. USC also had seven corners while Oregon just had one, which is something that Oregon has typically had success with all season long.

Oregon finished last year 0-5-0 on the road against Pac-12 teams. This year hasn’t been an improvement. With an 0-4-0 record on the road in conference games this season, the Ducks had their best chance to get a win, or at least a tie, against USC. The Trojans, who are last place in the Pac-12 heading into this weekend, had just one Pac-12 win before they ousted Oregon.

The Ducks are now 4-10-3, 2-6-1 on the season. They will play UCLA on Sunday, Nov. 3 before heading to Oregon State for their last regular season game of the year on Nov. 7.
