The Oregon State Beavers fell to a 2-0 defeat against Lipscomb in a Nashville showdown on Tuesday night.
Despite out shooting the Bison 11-10, the Beavers could not find the back of the net, leaving their attack lacking a decisive finish.
Early breakthrough
Lipscomb struck first in the 41st minute, taking a slender 1-0 lead that set the tone for the remainder of the match.
The Beavers' best chance came early in the second half when Sophia Zboyan's attempt rattled the crossbar, a moment that could have shifted momentum.
London Tsuma also tested the Lipscomb defense in the 61st minute, but his shot sailed wide, preserving the Bison's clean sheet.
A second goal arrived in the 77th minute, sealing a 2-0 victory and underscoring Oregon State's offensive woes.
Goalkeeper's debut
Freshman Alexi Morgan made her first start between the posts, logging a full 90 minutes and coping with the pressure of her collegiate debut.
The Beavers will look to rebound when they host Bushnell on Wednesday, hoping to translate the experience into a more productive outing.
