The NCAA Men’s Soccer Tournament got underway Thursday night, and after a close fought battle with the Seattle Redhawks Oregon State advanced to the second round with a 2-1 victory. The Beavers will next head north to Portland to take on the Pilots.
The Beavers drew first blood in the 31st minute, when a beautiful juke by Enzo Newman freed him up for a pass to Dante Williams right in front of the goal. Williams hit the top left corner of the goal to put the Beavers up 1-0. They would hold onto that lead for the rest of the first half.
