CORVALLIS, Ore. – The Southern Oregon University women’s soccer team was named the Under Armour Team of the Week for Oct. 10-16, the Cascade Collegiate Conference announced Sunday.
The unranked Raiders had a challenging weekend, taking on the CCC’s two ranked teams but rose to the occasion. SOU opened with a dominating 4-0 upset over No. 25-ranked Eastern Oregon University and followed with a 1-1 draw with No. 22-ranked College of Idaho.
SOU matched a program record by extending its unbeaten streak to seven games and sits third in the CCC standings by win percentage with four regular-season contests left to play.
In Friday’s offensive showcase, Sarah Mauk scored a pair of goals, while Baylee Touey and Gabbie Johnson also found the back of the net for the Raiders. Prior to the game, EOU had only given up three goals in its previous 11 matches combined.
Against the Coyotes, Jessie Selby came up with seven saves to keep her team in the game. Mia Santander scored SOU’s goal off a Sophia Connell assist.
The Raiders are on the road next week, visiting Bushnell University on Friday and Corban University on Saturday.
