STOCKTON, Calif. — Three Pacific (Calif.) goals in a seven-minute stretch in the first half left the Portland State women's soccer team on the wrong end of a 3-1 loss to the Tigers Sunday.
Â
The Vikings (2-3-0) went up 1-0 on a 25th-minute goal from freshman
Ellie Vasey, but the Tigers (2-3-1) scored three goals in a seven-minute stretch from the 31st to 37th minutes in the first half. Alex Hussar scored the Tigers' equalizer just past the 30-minute mark in the first half, before Jessica Fogel scored back-to-back goals within a stretch of 80 seconds in the 36th and 37th minutes.
Â
The poor stretch ended up costing the Vikings, who couldn't find a goal to get back in the match after that.
Â
The three-goal stretch put a damper on Vasey's first career goal as a Viking, which came off the first-career assist from sophomore midfielder
Liv Jillings. Jillings fed Vasey from the left on the play, sending her a ball across the box that Vasey then fired into the top shelf of the net.
Â
Vasey accounted for three of the Vikings' five shots on goal in the match, and now stands as the Vikings' fifth-different goal scorer this season.
Â
The Vikings will look to bounce back when they return to the state of Oregon for a match at Oregon State Friday at 7 p.m.
