Portland upsets #2 Washington 1-0 in Third-Round of NCAA Tournament

Portland 1 Washington 0
Husky Soccer Field, Seattle, Washington
November 20, 2000
Attendance 2,347

Senior forward Vanessa Talbott scored in the 78th minute Sunday, helping Portland to a 1-0 victory over No. 2 seed Washington in the third round of the NCAA Tournament.

The Pilots (17-3) advance to the quarterfinals to play No. 7 seed Penn State (22-2-1). The Pilots have reached the semifinals four times, including a championship-game appearance in 1995. The date and location of that game will be announced on Monday.

Pacific-10 Conference champion Washington (18-3) ended its finest season ever. The Huskies set school records for victories (18) and winning streak (11) while advancing to the Sweet 16 of the NCAAs for the first time ever.

Post game quotes

Washington Head Coach Lesle Gallinmore
"Games like this wouldn't be any fun if they weren't heartbreaking for the loser. Certainly, we are disappointed not to be moving on in the tournament, but with that said, nobody can take away from us what kind of season our kids have had. Winning a Pac-10 Championship, getting the No. 2 seed in the tournament and playing as well as they have all year has been just an honor for me to a part of."

Portland Head Coach Clive Charles
"Vanessa scored a fabulous goal. It was a very good game, a tough game - a typical playoff game. This was two very evenly-matched teams, and we knew that one goal would probably win it either way."

Talbott's decisive tally was her 14th goal of the season and her seventh-game winner. Her brilliant 22-yard shot from the center of the field brushed the post in the upper-right portion of the goal as it went into the net at 77:16. Talbott gained possession of the ball after teammate Kylee Barton stripped it from a Husky defender.

"Kylee [Barton] and another defender got into a tackle, and the ball popped out a little bit," Talbott explained. "I was able to pick it up and could tell a defender was coming onto me, so I shot it far-post and it went in. (Hope Solo) is an outstanding goalkeeper. She has a reach like none other, and she can get up, so if you are going to put it up in the air you'd better send it as far-post as possible because she can get a hand on it."

Solo saved two shots for the Huskies, including a deflection of point-blank attempt by Talbott two minutes into the second half. Solo was replaced in goal by senior Leslie Weeks during the 82nd minute and played on the field as a forward. Weeks played the final eight minutes and made one save.


Senior Cheryl Loveless saved two shots en route to her 12th shutout for the Pilots who outshot Washington 10-5. After a first half in which neither team had any dangerous chances, Portland posted an 8-4 shot advantage after halftime.

Sunday marked the third time these teams clashed in NCAA Tournament play. The previous two meetings, during 1995 and 1996 in Portland, also resulted in 1-0 Pilot wins. The Huskies won a 2-1 decision at Portland earlier this season on Sept. 23, their only victory in 13 all-time meetings with the Pilots.

The loss ended the careers of five UW seniors, including Tami Bennett and Theresa Wagner who together own nearly every school scoring
record. Bennett has the Husky records for goals in a career (34) and single season (16) along with game-winning goals in a career (12) and season (7). Wagner is the Huskies' all-time leader with 80 career points. She holds every UW assist record with marks for career (26), season (12) and game (4).


#6 UCLA shuts out Texas A&M 4-0 at UCLA's Drake Stadium


For the second time in program history, the sixth-seeded UCLA women's soccer team advances to the NCAA quarterfinals after posting a 4 0 shutout victory over Texas A&M Sunday at UCLA's Drake Stadium. The Bruins will play third-seeded Clemson this Saturday in South Carolina. The winner of that match advances to the College Cup, Dec. 1-3 in San Jose.

UCLA, which last reached the NCAA quarterfinals in 1997 against Notre Dame, broke a scoreless tie in the 24th minute of play when Stephanie Rigamat dribbled down the right side of the field and tucked in a sharp-angled shot, just beating Texas A&M goalkeeper Esther Thompson.

Following a 1-0 UCLA halftime lead, Rigamat scored her second goal of the game in the 71st minute of play when she volleyed in a perfect Breana Boling cross from about five yards.

Bruin freshman Sarah-Gayle Swanson put UCLA ahead 3-0 at the 78:53 mark when she received a Venus James pass that forced a one-on-one opportunity with Thompson, whom she beat from about eight yards out. With that goal, her team-leading 14th of the season, Swanson ties the UCLA single-season freshman records for goals and points. Both records were set by Traci Arkenberg during the 1994 season.

Bruin senior Tracey Milburn capped off the scoring in the 90th minute of play when she gathered a ball in the far right side of the A&M box, banking in a shot off an Aggie defender into the right side of the goal.

Post game quote

CLA Head Coach Jillian Ellis

"Obviously I'm extremely pleased that we're advancing, I'm very happy for our players. I think they've worked hard all year and our goal is to get to the final four and that was step number two for us. I thought A&M gave us a great game in the first half and we really struggled and it was apparent we had a match on our hands. Give credit to (A&M), they play great soccer."

With the 4-0 decision, UCLA (16-3-1) now has 14 shutouts on the season and has allowed just seven goals in 21 games. The Bruins have outscored their opponents by an astonishing 72-7 margin.

Saturday's match against Clemson will mark the second meeting between the two teams this season. Clemson beat UCLA 1-0 at the Clemson/Nike Kickoff
Classic back on Aug. 25 in South Carolina. That match was UCLA's 2000 season opener.

Texas A&M finishes the season with an 18-7-0 overall record.

Washington

"We couldn't be more pleased to come away with not only a victory, but a significant victory," said Head Coach Lesle Gallimore whose teams have played in five NCAA Tournaments during her seven seasons at Washington. "We have been itching for this day since we clinched the conference title two weeks ago. Our team did a tremendous job setting the tone against a very goodMontana team that has been on a roll."

Montana

"We knew we needed to defend well to have a chance. We thought that Washington, coming off a weeks rest, would come out really hard in the first 20 minutes," Montana Head Coach Betsy Duerksen explained. "We wanted to put our best defenders out to hold them off and then bring in our scorers. We only had two days to work on it. I guess it didn't work."

Other

Pacific-10 Conference champion Washington (18-2), which had a first-round bye, advances to the third round of the NCAA Tournament for the first time ever. The Huskies have a Sweet 16 matchup with Portland (16-3) which defeated Arizona State 3-1 at home on Saturday. One of the participants will be selected to host the game.

UCLA 3 USC 0

Sixth-seeded UCLA advanced to the third round of the NCAA Championships on Saturday, defeating cross-town rival USC, 3-0 before 1,104 fans at UCLA's Drake Stadium. The Bruins' next opponent will be the winner of Sunday's match between Texas A&M and Marquette. If UCLA is selected to host that match, it will be on Sunday at 1:00 p.m. At Drake Stadium.

UCLA, which improves to 16-3-1 on the season, wasted little time getting on the board, as Breana Boling put the Bruins ahead, 1-0 in just the third minute of the match. Boling launched an 18-yard blast from the left side of the field, beating USC goalkeeper Lauren Arase into the right corner of the net. UCLA went ahead 2-0 at the 59:02 mark when Bruin junior Stephanie Rigamat blasted a hard shot that was deflected by Arase into the box, where a wide-open Sarah-Gayle Swanson gathered it up and put in a shot from about four yards.

Bruin senior Venus James capped the scoring for UCLA with an unassisted goal in the 72nd minute of play. James dribbled all the way down the left side of the field, beat her defender and scored from about six yards out.

Post game quote
UCLA
"Obviously this is a tremendous result for us," said UCLA head coach Jillian Ellis. "Not only is it an advancement to the third round, but it's a victory over USC, and it doesn't matter at what point of the season it comes, it's especially sweet. I'm extremely pleased at how our team played today, and I'm looking forward to the next game. I felt like we had the better of the play and we obviously created more chances," said Ellis. "We've been playing very good soccer over the past three weeks and I think if we continue to do that and possess the ball, we're a tough team to beat."

USC
"We came out and we were flat," said USC head coach Jim Millinder. "When you're playing on the road and you go down and take a goal two minutes into
the match, it takes the wind out of your sails. They played today and we didn't. (UCLA) is an outstanding soccer team. They have tremendous team
speed through the midfield and up high and it was very difficult to cope with. It just wasn't in the cards for the Trojans today."


USC's best opportunity to score came in the 60th minute of play, however a goal by Christy Callier was called back due to an offsides call by the
linesman. USC finishes the season 14-6-2.

pleased to get past a very good Duke team."

Wisconsin ends season with 1-0 loss to Connecticut

Scoring

55:47 UConn Naima Montacer (Jen Carlson, Mary-Beth Bowie)

Wisconsin ended its season with a 1-0 loss to No. 13 Connecticut in the second round of the NCAA Tournament. The Badgers finish the season at the 16-7-1 mark overall and posted a second-place 7-3 regular season Big Ten record. UConn now leads the all-time series between the two squads 3-2. The win lifted the Huskies to 16-6-2 on the year and advances them to the third round where they will take on the fourth-seeded Nebraska Huskers.

Allison Wagner (Hudson, Ohio) had a breakaway 45 seconds into the game and sent a shot past UConns keeper. The ball was rolling into the net when a Husky defender cleared it.

"That could have been the difference in the game," said Head Coach Dean Duerst. "When we score first, we win."

Though the UW frontline had some great opportunities, it was the Badger defense who warded off the Huskies in the first period, heading into halftime with a scoreless game. Keeper Kelly Conway (Littleton, Colo.) matched UConn's keeper Maria Yatrakis with three saves in the first half, deflecting six Husky shots. "Kelly was the player of the game for us today,' Duerst continued. "She was really on. She did everything we expect a keeper to do."

Ten minutes into the second period, Connecticut caught Wisconsin at its one weak moment of the afternoon, taking the ball right up the center and netting what would be the only goal of the game. " That goal was just really unfortunate for us because we were really doing what we needed to be doing throughout the game," commented Duerst. "They just caught us at a weak point."

"It was a tough loss," said Duerst of his fifth tournament team as head coach for the Badgers. "Connecticut was really able to possess the ball more and move it around more in the first half. I think their possession wore us down a bit, but we had some great surges that caught them off guard. We came out much better and stronger in the second half. Kelly Kundert (Madison, Wis.) took a great hard shot right at the keeper near the post with about 30 seconds left in the game, and that could have been huge. Even the box score shows that the game was really tight. A few more corner kicks and the game might have changed a bit. On the season, I think the seniors showed great leadership. They created the chemistry that's necessary for a successful team. It was fun being a part of this team. And as a team, we found out just how good we can be. UConn tied Notre Dame, the top team in the nation, earlier in the season, and we were right there with them today. Where does that put us? Our goal now is to push past the second round. This season taught us to be confident. We showed a lot of heart, especially in the overtime games. I think we really carried the edge in the close games and that takes confidence. Our team gave a lot this year and were given a lot in return for their efforts."

This was the Badgers' eleventh NCAA Tournament appearance, and the Huskies' 19th-straight NCAA Tournament appearance. They have advanced to the finals three times, the semifinals seven times and the quarterfinals 14 times. Last year UConn advanced to the Elite Eight before falling to Santa Clara, 3-0.


Clemson will open their NCAA Tournament play when they play host to Duke Saturday night, November, 11th at 7:00 p.m.

Clemson has a 17-2-1 record overall and won the ACC regular season. Duke will enter the match with a 14-7-1 record overall. Duke defeated the Lady Tigers twice during the season. Clemson is seeded third in the NCAA Tournament., an all-time high for the Lady Tigers.

Admission to the Clemson-Duke match is $5.00 for senior citizens and children under 12 years of age and under, everone else is $7.00. Clemson University students will be admitted free with their Clemson University ID.


 

USC defeated San Diego 2-1 Wednesday, and will play sixth-seeded UCLA (15-3-1) in the second round this Saturday at UCLA's Drake Stadium beginning at 1:00 p.m

The Bruins and Women of Troy battle this Saturday. The Women of Troy defeated San Diego, 2-1 Wednesday, earning a shot at sixth-seeded UCLA (15-3-1) in the second round this Saturday at UCLA's Drake Stadium beginning at 1:00 p.m.

USC, however, will be without the services of one of it's top players, as senior midfielder Katie Ticehurst received a red card in Wednesday's match against USD and will have to sit out on Saturday.

UCLA has not played since beating Arizona 8-0 on Sunday as they earned a first-round bye in the championships and will open tournament play on Saturday. The Women of Troy, unseeded in the 48-team tournament, needed a win on Wednesday to advance to the second round.

Saturday's meeting will mark the second between USC and UCLA this season. Both teams played to a 1-1 tie following two overtime periods back on Oct. 8 at the Coliseum. In that match, USC's Jessica Edwards put the Women of Troy up 1-0 in the 22nd minute of play and the Bruins answered at the 68:11 mark on a goal from Bruin freshman Lindsay Greco. Neither team was able to score following two overtime periods and the match was called a draw. The Bruins outshot USC 30-14.

The Women of Troy head into Saturday's match with a 14-5-2 overall record and No. 22 national ranking.


 


Washington State University (13-7-0) fell 1-0 Wednesday in a snowy battle with Montana (16-4-1) in the first round of the NCAA Tournament


2000 Washington State University Soccer
Washington State 0 Montana Grizzlies 1
November 8, 2000 at Pullman, Washington.
Attendance: 293-- Snowing, 30 °F

The winning goal came just over 66 minutes into play when sophomore Liz Roberts (Helena, Mont.) dribbled the ball up the side and dished it off to senior Shannon Forslund (Tacoma, Wash.) who sent it into the right corner from 18-yards out.

The 19th ranked Cougars outshot Montana 15 to 10 in the game and 10 to five in the first half, while shots on goal were eight to four in favor of the Cougars. Senior Deka DeWitt (Auburn, Wash.) had four shots on goal to end her Washington State career.

The snow was a factor in the game for both teams delaying the kickoff by 20 minutes while the field was shoveled and plowed. It made for a slippery pitch.

"I really shoulder a lot of the blame for not doing a better job of having my team adapt their playing style to the conditions and thatís just not smart on
my part," head coach Dan Tobias said about the loss, but despite that I thought we played very well. The conditions were very difficult and I thought
we had most of the run of play, especially early in the first half. We had some chances that didnít happen to go in."

The Cougars season has come to an end at 13-7-0, just one win short of the all-time record. The NCAA appearance was the second in the programís history and it was the first time WSU has hosted NCAA soccer play.

Montana will take a nine-game winning streak to Washington for the second round of the NCAA tournament Sunday, Nov. 12 at noon PT. The first four rounds of tournament play will be held at host schools and the semi and final games will be played in San Jose, Calif. at San Jose State University Dec. 1 and 3

Wisconsin shutout the Princeton Tigers 1-0 in 2nd Overtime Wednesday in its first NCAA Tournament appearance since 1998 and avances to the second round

With the win, the Badgers advance to the second round of the tournament, traveling to Storrs, Conn. to take on the Connecticut Huskies in a noon Eastern game on Sunday, November,12th.

Wisconsin's Camile Flenniken (Northglenn, Colo.) seemed to be the most composed of the squad as the Badger offense struggled to connect downfield throughout the first period. Both teams appeared sluggish late in the second half. Senior Michelle Hawkins (Plano, Texas) came out of the game at the 79:57 mark with a knee injury but returned just four minutes later. This seemed to be the trend of the day for both squads as the numbing cold and the frustration of missed opportunities left the players hurt, tired and looking for a breather.


That breather came with just 2:10 left on the clock in the second sudden victory overtime when Flenniken sent a corner kick into the penalty box. Jenny Kundert (Madison, Wis.) was there to head the ball to Natalie Roedler (Mendota Heights, Minn.) for the game-winner. It was the UW*s fourth overtime victory of the season and the Badgers' first shutout since defeating St. Louis at home in late October.


Scoring
117:50 UW Natalie Roedler (Camile Flenniken, Jenny Kundert)



Though neither team played their A-games this afternoon, the squads matched up well on both sides of the center line. Wisconsin outshot the Tigers by just four attempts, but the Princeton defense tallied five saves, the same as Badger keeper Kelly Conway (Littleton, Colo.). Princeton*s Amee Reyes surprised the Wisconsin personnel with her speed, inching past the red backfield numerous times, but never found an opportunity for a clean shot. Theresa Sherry, the Tigers' top scorer, came off the bench for 35 minutes this afternoon, but only got one shot off for the afternoon.

This is the Badgers 11th NCAA Tournament appearance. They have advanced to the second round of play eight of ten times, including the last three appearances and finished second in the 1991 tournament, falling in the championship game, 3-1, to North Carolina. Princeton, who earned an automatic bid into the tournament this year with a 1-0 victory over Penn to clinch a share of the Ivy League regular season championship finishes the season at the 13-5 mark. This was the Tigers' second-straight tournament appearance and also the second-consecutive first-round loss.

'I expected a good match-up," said Princeton coach Julie Shackford of the loss, "but I felt good about our draw in the tournament. We weren't unhappy about it at all. Wisconsin is a great team. I wish them the best of luck."


Badger head coach Dean Duerst was excited for his team, "I am very proud of our team. They didn't play their best game today, but as the team got more anxious and excited, we did the things we needed to do for the win. I can't say that any one player had a great game. How the team played collectively is the best thing about today. Still, we didn't play effective offensive soccer. When we don't finish well, I think we get frustrated. But when we make a bad play, we have got to rally around one another, and I really think we did that today. We played a lot of personnel today, but we don't miss a beat. That is one of our requirements -- the subs have to be ready."

The UW travels to the east coast this weekend to face the No. 13 team in the nation, the UConn Huskies. Connecticut has advanced to postseason action in 19 straight NCAA Tournaments. Last season, the Huskies played through to the Elite Eight, falling to Santa Clara, 3-0 in the quarterfinals. UConn is led by Mary-Beth Bowie with 30 points off 12 goals and six assists. The Huskies are15-6-2 this season and is coming off a 1-0 loss to top seeded Notre Dame in the Big East Championships.





Leslie Gallimore is Pac-10 Coach of the Year

Head coach Leslie Gallimore, who guided the Washington team to its first ever Pac-10 championship, was voted the conference coach of the year by her peers. In her seventh season at Washington, Gallimore guided the Huskies to an all-time best 17 victories, including a school-record 11-game winning streak. Washington (17-2) posted an 8-1 conference record to become the first Pac-10 champion from outside the state of California.

The Huskies earned the No. 2 seed for the NCAA Tournament and will host asecond-round game on Sunday at noon against the winner of Wednesday's
first-round game between Montana and Washington State. That will beWashington's fifth NCAA Tournament appearance in the last seven seasons, all under Gallimore.

The Huskies had more first-team picks than any other school and all four UW first-team members are from the state of Washington. Earning first-team acclaim were senior forward Tami Bennett (Seattle Christian HS), junior defender Andrea Morelli (Eastside Catholic HS), sophomore goalkeeper Hope Solo (Richland HS) and senior midfielder Theresa Wagner (Lakeside HS).

Bennett set several Husky records this season, including marks for goals in a career (33) and season (15), game-winning goals for a career (12) and season (7) and single-season points (34).

Morelli anchored a defense that limited opponents to only 16 goals, less than one per game. She was honored as the Pac-10 Defender of the Year in 1999, but that award was not presented this year.

A member of the U.S. National Team during the summer, Solo registered five shutouts against collegiate competition while compiling an outstanding 0.79 goals against average. Solo surrendered only five goals in nine Pac-10 contests, never more than one in any game.

Wagner also assaulted the UW record book this season, claiming every assist record. She owns records for assists in a game (4), season (10) and career (24). Wagner set a new UW standard for career points with 78.

Two Huskies received second-team All-Pac-10 accolades, junior midfielder Caroline Putz and sophomore defender Vanessa Pierce, a graduate of Woodinville (Wash.) High School.

The list of honorable mention all-conference honorees included two UW players: senior midfielder Malia Arrant and junior defender Katie Goodeve from Eastlake High School in Redmond, Wash.

Heading into the season, Milburn was a 2000 College Soccer Online preseason All-American.

In addition to Milburn's selection to the first-team, UCLA placed four other players on all-conference teams Tuesday. Defender's Karissa Hampton and Krista Boling also earned first-team All-Pac-10 honors, while midfielder Breana Boling was a second-team selection.

Bruin goalkeeper CiCi Peterson, who has not given up more than one goal in any game this season and has allowed just seven goals in UCLA's 19 games,
was an honorable mention selection.

Wisconsin loses to Michigan 4-2 in Semi-final of Big Ten

Badger Head Coach Dean Duerst sets small goals for his team on the way to the big season goals. The key to tonight's game was to score first on the Michigan Wolverines (12-7-1, 6-5 Big Ten). With the wind at their backs, the Wolverines left no hope for the Badgers (15-6-1, 7-4-1 Big Ten) to accomplish that goal, taking the early lead 14 minutes into the game when Vicky Whitley sent a free kick to Marie Spaccarotella. The Wolverines didn't stop there, but went on to net three more goals in the next 19 minutes, the most goals allowed by the UW squad this season. That was all the goals Michigan needed to earn the 4-2 victory and advance to Sunday's 2 p.m. Big Ten Tournament Championship game. The Badgers were elimiated from the tournament with the loss.
Wisconsin avoided a shutout with two goals of their own in the UW's third late-starting game of the season. With just 50 seconds left in the first period, Wisconsin's Jenny Kundert (Madison, Wis.) took a shot from 20 yards out and sunk it into the right corner of the net to bring back some Badger confidence. The goal was Kundert's first goal and second appearance in her return from a seven-game torn-MCL recovery.
The second half went scoreless until the 86:43 mark when senior Allison Wagner (Hudson, Ohio) knocked a 20-yarder off the post and into the net to boost the Badgers' goal total to two. Wagner, who earned first-team All-Big Ten honors this seaso, now holds a 102-point career total with her 14th goal of the season.

Post game quote
Head Coach Duerst

"I am disappointed in our effort tonight. It was one of our worst games on the year, but I have to give a lot of credit to Michigan. They scored early and were able to win the game. Michigan showed what they are capable of tonight. The game could have been 4-3 at the half, but we missed opportunities that we had. I think they came out in the second half and really solidified their defense. The wind also hurt us tonight. Michigan had to score their goals early to get up right away. They had the wind to be able to do that. We weren't able to put our best game back at them right away. We lacked the determination that they had tonight. Camile (Flenniken -- Northglenn, Colo.) has played very well in high-level competition throughout her college and club career. She has great poise on the field in these situations. We'd like to keep her centered more, but she's a great defender, and we needed her there tonight. I think not having our starter, Michelle Hawkins (Plano, Texas) hurt us a little. It threw off our backs a bit. But, on a weekend like this, you learn from your opponents. We learned that we have to come out stronger a lot more and play sharper."

The Badgers return to Madison on Saturday to prepare for a possible NCAA Tournament bid. The selection show will be aired on Sunday night at 9 p.m. via satellite. The team will watch the show in the McClain Center Auditorium. Media is welcome to attend.




No. 5-seed Duke Blue Devils advanced to the ACC Women's Soccer Championship game as they upset top-seeded Clemson Tigers 1-0 at Koskinen Stadium on Friday night.


The two teams were evenly matched during the first half, as both teams took four shots. Neither team scored during the first half of play.

Clemson outplayed Duke early in the second half and the Tigers had several scoring opportunities. Duke took the lead at 65:40 when sophomore Carly Fuller collected a cross from junior Sarah Pickens and beat Clemson junior goalkeeper Katie Carson with a shot to the upper right corner.

"I don't think Carly (Fuller) had a clear look at the goal," said Duke head coach Bill Hempen. "We have been trying to get her to shoot all year long, and I think that window was about to close...It was a world-class shot."

Duke freshman goalkeeper Thora Helgadottir sealed the victory for Duke with several key saves, including one at 84:20 when she dived to stop aheader by Clemson sophomore Deliah Arrington.

"The game was about our missed opportunities," said Clemson head coach Ray Leone. "We had enough chances to make it a better game. Maybe even
put it into overtime."

Duke (13-6-1) will take on defending ACC Champion North Carolina in the championship game at 1 p.m. Sunday at Koskinen Stadium. The championship game will air live on Regional Sports Network (Home Team Sports, FOX Sports South, Sunshine Network).

Washington State Upsets No. 2 Washington 1-0 in Double Overtime on Friday

Washington 0 Washington State 1 on November 3, 2000 at Pullman, Washington ..

Washington State Universityís soccer team upset the second ranked Huskies 1-0 in a double overtime effort Friday. The Cougars (13-6-0, 5-4-0 Pac-10) are the first team in the Pac-10 to defeat Washington (17-2-0, 8-1-0 Pac 10) this season.

In front of their largest home crowd this year (707) the Cougars outshot
Washington 22-13. Freshman Kim Morgan (Seattle, Wash.) headed in the
game-winner in the 112th minute of play off a cross from Liz Duncan (Richland, Wash.). The goal was Morganís third this season and the assist was Duncanís eighth, which ties Deka DeWittís (Auburn, Wash.) single season record set last season.

DeWitt, the only senior on the Cougar team had 11 shots on goal, a career best. Her strongest attempt came in the 72nd minute when Washingtonís Hope Solo tipped the ball just over the net. Solo had 12 saves in goal for the Huskies.

The Huskies best attempt came 70 minutes into play when Malia Arrant had the ball just in front of the goal line before Cougar defender Shay Hobby
(Danville, Calif.) cleared it out.

"I thought from the second half on we really stifled their attack and thatís a
credit to the players," head coach Dan Tobias said.

After getting outshot 7-5 in the first half, the Cougars came back to fire 11
shots at Washington in the second half to the Huskies five. In the overtime
periods the Cougars outshot the Huskies 2-1 in the first and 4-0 in the second.

The win marks the Cougars fifth in the Pac-10, the best Pac-10 record in Cougar soccer history, and the 13 overall wins are just one short of the all time win record at WSU. Washington will have an automatic berth into the NCAA tournament as the Pac-10 champions while WSU will have to wait until Sunday nightís selection show at 7 p.m. PT to find out if they will earn an at large bid. Only one other WSU soccer team has competed in the NCAA tournament, 1994ís 12-7-1 squad.

"I think the committee will look at how you loose, and whether you are getting
blown out," Tobias said about the Cougarís six losses, five to ranked
opponents."Two of our Pac-10 losses we took to double overtime and the other two were one goal games. We were 20 minutes or so away from being 7-2 or 6-3.The other good thing is that the Pac-10 conference is rated the best in the country."



Top-seeded Clemson Tigers scores two goals in the second half to defeat the No. 8-seeded Maryland Terrapins 2-0 in the 2000 ACC Championship

Sophomore forward Deliah Arrington scored both of Clemson's goals. Her first goal came at 49:24, a rebound off of a previous shot. She scored
again on a breakaway at 72:53 off a pass from senior Julie Augustyniak.

Clemson dominated the game, tallying 17 shots and 13 corner kicks, while Maryland recorded two shots andtwo corner kicks.

#20 Wisconsin advance to the Big Ten Tournament semi-finals after knocking off Purdue in penalty kicks, 5-3


The scoreboard was still tied at two after the end of two sudden victory periods, sending the contest into PKs.
Before today, the Badgers (15-5-1, 7-3-1 Big Ten) had won only one game when allowing opponents to take the early lead. This afternoon, Purdue (12 6-1, 5-5-1 Big Ten) netted the first goal of the game just under seven minutes into the match on the first Boilermaker shot of the day. But the UW offense doused any thoughts of another 1-0 shutout to the seventh-seeded Purdue with a goal of their own at the 33:47 mark. Senior Allison Wagner (Hudson, Ohio) put away her 13th goal of the year (100th career point) on an assist from sophomore Camile Flenniken (Northglenn, Colo.).

The Boilers took a quick advance downfield and earned a penalty kick on one of just five Wisconsin first half fouls less than a minute later. Jessica Baumhoff sent the ball past Badger keeper Kelly Conway (Columbine, Colo.) to take the lead for the remainder of the first half.

The second period went scoreless until the 72 minute 10 second mark when Flenniken took a free kick to tie the game at two apiece. Her shot landed in the back right corner of the Boiler net as Purdue's keeper Elizabeth Boldt misjudged the attempt and didn't even try to make the save. With four minutes lft in the first sudden victory period, Purdue's Big Ten freshman of the year contender Jennie Moppert sent a long shot from the far right point to the left side of the Badger net. What looked like the winning goal bounced off the left post and back into play -- the most breath-stopping shot of both overtime periods.

When the game went into penalty kicks, the Badgers were clearly the more composed and determined of the two teams. Purdue switched keepers while Conway stayed between the posts for the UW. Wisconsin's Lauren Schmidt (Milwaukee, Wis.) took the first PK, sending the ball to the back of the net, giving the Badgers all the confidence they needed for the win. Purdue followed with the 1-1 goal, but missed its second after Wagner put away the 2-1 goal for the Badgers. Seniors Megan Dobesh (Cedarburg, Wis.) and Michelle Hawkins (Plano, Texas) nailed the third and fourth penalty kicks for the UW as the Boilers made their next two also. Flenniken took the fifth and final kick for Wisconsin. Purdue put defender Katie Redmond into the net to rattle Wisconsin, but Flenniken shot the game-winner past her and into the back left corner of the net to clinch the Badgers' first semifinal appearance since 1996.

Cloudy, calm, 59 °F, rain began in second half


The Cougar soccer team completed a sweep of the Oregon schools Sunday in a 1-0 overtime win at Oregon State. WSU is now 12-6-0 overall and 4-4-0 in the Pac-10.

Senior Deka DeWitt (Auburn, Wash.) came up with the game-winner for the Cougars off a ball from Katrina Stroh (Federal Way, Wash.) 10 and a half minutes into the overtime period. It was the eighth game-winner of DeWittís career and her 12th goal this season, which ties her season high set in 1998.

DeWittís seven shots against the Beavers put her at 106 on the season which is a school record, surpassing Kim Lynassí 102 shots on goal in 1990. DeWitt broke the career shots record in Fridayís game at Oregon and now has 288, nine more than Lynassí 279 set in 1993.

Although the Cougars controlled the run of play and outshot the Beavers 15 1 in regulation play, Oregon State came up with four saves to end the second half at a 0-0 tie. WSU came out in overtime with five more shots and five corner kicks in the first two and a half minutes of overtime play.

Post game remarks

I thought we played well, we had a lot of possession and had most of the run of play," head coach Dan Tobias said."ìOregon State did a good job of
defending. They are a very tough physical team and real strong defensively, but I thought we did a good job."

The Cougars 12 wins are the best ever since becoming a member of the Pac 10 and the best in the programís history since a 12-7-1 year in 1994 as an independent school, the year the Cougars went to the second round of the NCAA tournament.

WSU will play its final regular season game this Friday, Nov. 3 at 2 p.m. PT at home against the second ranked Huskies who are currently 8-0 in the Pac-10 and 17-1-0 overall.




Senior Theresa Wagner scored four goals and added an assist Sunday, helping fourth-ranked Washington win its first Pacific-10 Conference women's soccer championship with a 6-1 victory over Oregon at Pape Field

Pape Field; Eugene, Oregon
Attendance - 401

The Huskies (17-1, 8-0) have won 11 consecutive gamesand are the only undefeated team in conference play. Washington is the first team from
outside the State of California to win the Pac-10 title.

A midfielder all season, Wagner was switched to a forward position to start the Oregon game. The move paid immediate dividends as she scored
two goals inside the opening six minutes. Wagner found the net with a 20-yard blast at 2:47 and parlayed a cross from Caroline Putz into a goal
at 5:54. At 12:58, Wagner helped put UW ahead 3-0 with a crossing pass that Tami Bennett directed into the goal from eight yards away. It was 15th goal of the season and 33 career score for Bennett, both Husky records.

Wagner became the first player in Washington history to register three career hat tricks, netting her third goal on an eight-yard shot at 20:05. She converted a penalty kick at 30:06 to tie the school single-game scoring record of four goals established by Emily Thompson in 1994. Wagner has 10 goals and a UW record 10 assists this season.

received a pass from Katie Goodeve and booted it in from five yards out. The Ducks lone goal came at 66:38 as Beth Bowler fired an 18-yard shot
past UW senior goalkeeper Leslie Weeks.

Sophomore goalkeeper Hope Solo posted three saves in a scoreless first half for Washington before giving way to Weeks who had two second-half
saves. Jeanine Norstad and Sarah Peters combined to save six shots for the Ducks.

Post Game quotes

Washington Head Coach Leslie Gallimore

"Entering the season, our goal was to finish in the top three in the conference. Because the conference is so tough, we didn't want to set a goal of winning the Pac-10 and be unrealistic. After our non-conference schedule concluded and we had a great record we changed our thinking about the Pac 10 and thought 'Why not us? Our players were not happy with the way we played Friday and had fire in their eyes today. It was a great collective team effort to get up early and keep the pressure on Oregon. I can't tell you what a relief that is to know for sure that we're in the tournament instead of being nervous on announcement day. We can go into the tournament as one of the top teams and watch the pairings to see how the tournament committee rewards us for a great season."

Theresa Wagner (Seattle's Lakeside High School)

"We wanted to go out early and attack them and I was able to get some good shots playing up forward . It's the greatest way to end your senior year. It feels awesome to win the Pac-10 championship."

Senior Theresa Wagner scored the winning goal with four minutes remaining in the final overtime Friday at Paul Lorenz Field, leading fourth-ranked Washington to a 2-1 victory over Oregon State and drawing the Huskies within one win of their first Pacific-10 Conference championship.

Washington (16-1, 7-0) is the only undefeated team in conference play and has defeated every other contender. The Huskies, who extended their
school-record winning streak to 10 games, can clinch the Pac-10 title with a win in their next game on Sunday at Oregon. Friday's win was difficult for the favored Huskies as Oregon State (6-10-2, 0-4-2) posted a 17-15 advantage in shots and a 6-3 corner-kick edge. Each of the Huskies' last seven games have been decided by one-goal margins, including overtime decisions in their last two outings.

Wagner ended the game at 116:09, the 27th minute of overtime. The product of Seattle's Lakeside High School ran on to a long pass from defender Suzanne Culpepper and headed it over goalkeeper Jerika Duran and into the net from 12 yards away. It was Wagner's sixth goal of the season, but her first game-winner.

Junior Caroline Putz gave Washington a lead 12 minutes into the game. Putz collected a poor clearance attempt by a Beaver defender,
dribbled right and fired a low 15-yard shot into the right side of the goal at 11:14.

Oregon State equalized just over four minutes later as Ann Marie Fallow headed in a cross from Leila Kaady at 15:25. The score remained tied for
the next 100 minutes before Wagner's decisive goal.

Sophomore goalkeeper Hope Solo recorded six saves for the Huskies, including one in each half that turned back point-blank OSU shots. Duran
had six saves for the Beavers.

"We know it's not going to be easy. Our kids have to get used to playing with targets on our backs. Other teams have a lot of motivation to make their season by beating us so we have to be ready for everyone's best game.The conference title is within our reach and that's a huge goal for
us. But, maybe more important for us is to start playing well heading into the NCAA Tournament."

#24 Wisconsin Women finishes their regular season with a 1-0 victory over the Billikens of Saint Louis

#24Wisconsin finished the regular season with a 1-0 victory over the Billikens of Saint Louis, bringing the Badgers' record to an impressive 15-5. The 2000 campaign marks the first time UW has recorded 15 wins since the 1996 squad finished 15-5-4 with a second round NCAA Tournament appearance.

One of the six athletes honored in today's senior day festivities, Allison Wagner (Hudson, Ohio) netted the game-winner for Wisconsin 16 minutes into play on a long pass from Michelle Hawkins (Plano, Texas). Despite 11 Badger shots and a penalty kick attempt by Megan Dobesh (Cedarburg, Wis.), the UW could not put another ball into the back of the net to increase the Wisconsin season 37 goal tally.

Late in the second half, it looked as if Saint Louis would even the score when Carrie Carlson sent a solo shot into the far corner of the UW goal. The play was pulled back on an offside call, the only one of the game.

This afternoon's game was one of the few in which neither team dominated the offensive side of the center line. Saint Louis keeper Meghann Burke tallied seven saves, including the stop on Dobesh's PK, to Badger sophomore Kelly Conway's (Littleton, Colo.) six. Wisconsin only notched four less fouls than the Billikens and still took one less corner kick than the opposition.

Wisconsin Head Coach Dean Duerst

"Both team's played effectively, but I don't think we played the sharpest attacking game we've played this year. Occasionally that happens, but we are still an experienced and disciplined team. I'm excited for this group and how much they have improved over the last year. We have 15 wins, and you have to credit that to the staff, the team, the administration, really everyone involved. It really shows the character of this team. "
