Walter's Hat Trick Leads Women's Soccer to Win at Oregon

Walter's Hat Trick Leads Women's Soccer to Win at Oregon

EUGENE, Ore. – A quick goal set the tone for Santa Clara women's soccer as they rolled to a 4-1 victory at Oregon on Thursday night.

The Broncos (2-4) struck quickly, on a goal from Izzy D'Aquila in the third minute and the offense continued throughout. Farrah Walters, making her first career start, assisted on D'Aquila's goal and then added a hat trick for her first collegiate points. D'Aquila also had two assists with Lucy Mitchell and Colby Barnett adding one apiece.

The Ducks (1-2-3) got their goal early in the second half to briefly get back in it at 3-1 but Santa Clara kept its offensive pressure going and would get the tally back late in the period.

NOTES

  • Walter's hat trick was the 29th in program history and the first since Kelsey Turnbow on October 20, 2017 against Saint Mary's. Turnbow was also a freshman at the time. Walters also becomes the 18th player in program history with at least three goals in a match.
  • Santa Clara outshot Oregon 20-6 and 9-1 in shots on target.
  • The Broncos drew six corners and surrendered two.
  • Leah Freeman made five saves for the Ducks.
  • Santa Clara is now 4-0-1 all-time vs. Oregon.
