EUGENE, Ore. – A short-handed Oregon squad wrapped up its toughest stretch of the season with a 4-0 loss to No. 20 USC Sunday on front of 639 fans at Papé Field.
The Ducks went 1-2 in their three matches to open the 2022 Pac-12 season, defeating No. 15 Washington and falling to No. 1 UCLA and the Trojans.
Oregon (3-4-4, 1-2-0) played without all-Pac-12 goalkeeper Leah Freeman, who had to sit out Sunday's match after drawing a red card Thursday against UCLA.
How it Happened: An unfortunate foul in the box was assessed to Oregon in the 10th minute and Bethune Croix converted the penalty kick for an early 1-0 USC lead.
