Stanford women romp to easy soccer win  

Bookmark and Share
Chioma Ubogagu's goal in the third minute sparked No. 2 Stanford to a 5-1 victory over No. 23 Oregon State in Pac-12 Conference women's soccer Thursday at Laird Q. Cagan Stadium.

Stanford (8-1-1 overall, 2-0 Pac-12) used five different goal scorers to extend its conference winning streak to 33 and its home unbeaten streak to 60.

Ubogagu scored her first goal of the season only 2:12 into the match on a left-footed shot that was deflected, but not stopped by Beaver goalkeeper Audrey Bernier-Larose.

Courtney Verloo scored for the fourth consecutive match and was followed on the scoresheet by Haley Rosen, Nina Watkins, and Mariah Nogueira on a diving header in the 54th minute to give the Cardinal a 5-0 lead.

However, the Cardinal's five-match shutout streak ended just short of a sixth, when Gwen Bieck of Oregon State (9-2, 1-1) scored from close range off a corner kick in the 86th minute. It was the first goal off Stanford in 588 minutes, 30 seconds.

Stanford resumes play on Sunday in a noon match against visting Oregon (5-3-2, 0-0-1).
