Thomason Wins It At The Death As Dawgs Top Ducks
October 26, 2023 | Women's Soccer
EUGENE, Ore. – Washington (8-5-4, 3-4-2 Pac-12) left it late Thursday night at Papé Field but finally put away Oregon (0-15-2, 0-9-0 Pac-12) as Tatum Thomason's 88th minute goal lifted the Huskies to a 1-0 victory.
It was largely one-way traffic throughout the affair as the Huskies spent the majority of the action in the attacking third. Thomason's winner was the 32nd shot of the night for the Huskies, the most attempts in a match for UW since 2018.
The Huskies put their foot to the pedal right from the word go, dictating the pace of play immediately. While the Dawgs put together a number of dangerous chances, they came closest to scoring shortly before the break when Jadyn Holdenried's 27-yard free kick rocked clattered off the crossbar.
Despite the dominant play through the first 45 minutes, there was nothing the separate the two sides heading into the half.
At the resumption of play, it was all Huskies once again. UW would go on to attempt 22 shots at goal. However, the Duck defense held strong, selling out for the block time and time again.
UW thought it had broken through in the 64th minute when Kelsey Branson put the ball in the back of the net. However, the Husky striker was ruled to be offside, chalking off the goal.
As Washington continued to throw everything it had forward, the woodwork once again denied the opener in the 83rd minute on a sumptuous Thomason strike. However, the Arizona native would have the final say just minutes later.
After Ioanna Papatheodorou's blast from the left side of the 18 was parried by Duck keeper Maddy Goldberg, the rebound fell to Thomason's feet in the middle of the box and the sophomore buried it, hitting the ball first time and bulging the net.
Husky keeper Olivia Juarez was only asked to make two stops on the night but made perhaps the biggest play of the game, coming off her line strong to deny Oregon's Ajanae Respass' shot at the vacant goal with just two ticks left on the clock.
Unbeaten in their last six, Washington heads north to Corvallis on Sunday, taking on the Beavers at Noon PT. The match will air on Oregon State Live Stream 3.
