In a game played in perfect Duck conditions, Oregon’s Lexi Romero scored in the 38th minute and the Ducks made it stand up for the rest of the game to beat Hofstra University 1 - 0 in Hempstead, New York on Sunday. Oregon improved to 2-2-3 (W-L-T) on the season while Hofstra fell to 4-2-1
Wet, rainy weather greeted Oregon, probably the first the players have seen in a while. Playing with a ball that is wet, can be slippery and will take crazy skips and bounces on the wet playing surface, Oregon’s defense and goalkeeper Leah Freeman kept a clean sheet and Freeman earned her second shutout of the season.
