ASHLAND – Eastern Oregon freshman Zoe Anderson struck for her 11th goal of the season in the ninth minute and the Mountaineers used tight defense to secure a 1-0 win over the Southern Oregon women's soccer team Saturday evening at Raider Stadium.

Morgan Delay assisted the goal with a lead pass that Anderson took for one touch and a 10-yard dart of a shot. The Mountaineers were more intent on limiting SOU's opportunities than creating more of their own, coming away with their second one-goal win of the weekend.

EOU improved to 10-1 overall and 5-1 in the Cascade Conference. The Moutaineers went 1-5-3 in the CCC in 2014 but are in the hunt to go from worst to first under first-year coach Justin Wagar.

Anderson, a speedy 5-foot-4 freshman, is a big reason for the turnaround. She's now scored in seven of EOU's 11 contests.

SOU, which put two shots on goal, went to 4-7-2 overall, 3-3 in the CCC and had a three-game win streak snapped. The loss was the Raiders' first at home in six games dating back to last season. 

It was also the third time they've been shut out this year. EOU keeper Jessica Parker got credit for it, giving her five solo and three shared this season.

Both teams totaled eight shots, and Raider keeper Kylie Moltzen had three saves.

SOU is back in action next Friday and Saturday at Evergreen State and Northwest (Wash.).
