ASU soccer started Pac-12 play exactly like they wanted to defeating Oregon State 2-1 thanks to two second half goals from winger Jemma Purfield and midfielder Christina Edwards.
After the Sun Devils outshot the Beavers 12-2 in the first half with no goals, Purfield scored the breakthrough goal in the 51st minute on a pass from forward Jazmarie Mader for Purfield’s third goal of the season.
Arizona State would double their lead on an unassisted, long-distance goal from Edwards in the 81st minute that was smashed off the bar and landing across the goal line before ricocheting out.
