EUGENE, Ore. – Oregon and Utah both scored twice during the run of play, but the Utes capitalized on a pair of penalty kicks and the Ducks fell, 4-2, Sunday at Papé Field.

Oregon (0-9-2, 0-3-0) scored in the 40th and 83rd minutes, but penalty kicks by Utah (5-3-4, 1-1-1) in the 18th and 59th minutes proved to be the difference in the match.

"I thought we responded well again in the last 15 minutes in the first half when we started to gain some momentum there and started to play well," said coach Graeme Abel.
