Following a 1-0 loss to Oregon (8-1-4, 3-1-1 Pac-12), Arizona State (8-5-1, 0-4-1) will go nearly a calendar month without a win. Sunday’s result included the issues that have plagued the Sun Devils during this tough streak.
Duck Kess Elmore dribbled through the right side of the field without much resistance. After she made a move on Arizona State midfielder Eva van Deursen, Elmore had plenty of space in the box to get a shot off. The strike didn’t simply find its way into the net by itself. Lieske Carleer tried to block the shot but the ball deflected off the Sun Devil defender and got past a diving Birta Gudlaugs in goal.
