Weekend Split in California
Oregon’s road trip through the Bay Area produced a split result, beginning with a 1‑1 stalemate against Santa Clara on August 20, 2026. The visitors fell behind when the hosts converted an early penalty, but Carly Cormack’s swift strike restored parity before halftime, leaving both sides level at the break.
Standout Moments
Three days later the Ducks returned home to face San Francisco, where they asserted dominance with a 3‑0 victory on August 23. Ellie Felt opened the scoring from the spot in the 17th minute, added a free‑kick in the 39th, and capped the outing with a second penalty later in the match, while Chloe Chase completed the scoring.
Looking Ahead
Statistically, Oregon outshot the visitors 24‑2 over the course of the game, with a particularly overwhelming 14‑1 edge in the first half against San Francisco, underscoring the team’s attacking efficiency. The momentum generated by those performances now heads toward an in‑state rivalry clash scheduled for August 27 against Oregon State. The upcoming encounter offers the Ducks a chance to ride the wave of recent results as they look to solidify their position early in the season.
