TEMPE, Ariz. – Arizona State stepped into conference play on Friday night and promptly stepped out with an impressive, 2-1, victory over visiting Oregon State.
The Sun Devils (4-4-1, 1-0-0) used a pair of second half goals to create some separation before cruising to their second straight win.
"We had a great performance last Sunday and had another good one today," said head coach Graham Winkworth after the game. "I actually thought today's was our best performance of the season. It's important to get that first Pac-12 victory."
A strong focus on conditioning throughout the offseason paid off for Winkworth's side in Friday's thriller.
