Pretty big match today. A W would not only secure an outright Pac-12 Championship but also, I'd have to think, lock down a regional hosting seed regardless of next week's UW result.
Go Beavs!!

So The Pac12 network missed the entire first half so they could show Rugby.
UCLA opens second half with a goal. 1-0 Bruins.

I've only been watching off and on but UCLA seems to disrupt OSU's attack pretty easily

First conference loss. Now the UW game is for much higher stakes. Why would we want it any other way? Expecting a record crowd and electric atmosphere at Lorenz field for the biggest college soccer match in OSU program history. If this team is seriously looking at a national championship run then a home match against another top five team for the outright conference championship is a pretty damn good test. And if we’re just pretenders then will find that out too. |

Had UCLA lost, they could have fallen onto the bubble. This is their lone statement win of the season. Must have gone in as if their tournament hopes depended on it. Also the last time the Beavers and Bruins went at it, Molina-Diaz scored two goals, and assisted on a third. This was the first road match for the Beavers against a tournament bound team without Molina-Diaz in the starting XI. His absence is huge when it comes to needing an offensive outburst.
For a perspective on the loss, Georgetown lost to Marquette last week who finished 7th in the Big East and didn't even qualify for the Big East tournament. And yet, Georgetown is #3 in RPI after today. They had a first round bye today, so no changes for them.
The updated RPI shows OSU #1. But they have the wrong score for the Washington-San Diego State match, and once that is updated, I would believe the Huskies would be #1 followed by OSU at #2. So the road to Cary can still run through Corvallis, provided the Beavers don't lose on Thursday.
Thursday will be the biggest soccer match in Corvallis, since August 8, 1999, when the Willamette Valley Firebords defeated the Abbotsford 86ers to win the Premier Development League's Western Conference Championship. Still recall watching them at old Spartan Stadium when it still had the roof.

Wow, didn't realize so little of significance had transpired in OSU Soccer in 22 years. |

Wow, didn't realize so little of significance had transpired in OSU Soccer in 22 years. Before Terry Boss's arrival, the only post season appearances were 2002, 2003, and 2014, and not once has OSU even sniffed the Pac-10/12 title. They did go undefeated in conference play, 5-0-1, in 1990. The Northwest Collegiate Soccer Conference that is. Against the likes of Seattle, Puget Sound, Central Washington, Gonzaga, Evergreen State, and Whitman. They would go 11-7-2 overall with non-conference losses to Washington, Portland, California, and a draw to Stanford. |
