'Eaters Upended in 2OT to Washington, 2-1
September 07, 2018 | Women's Soccer
PORTLAND, Ore. --- UC Irvine hung with the Huskies forcing overtime late, but a Washington corner kick produced the dagger Friday evening dropping the 'Eaters, 2-1, at MerloΒ Field to open up the Nike Portland Invitational.
In the 105thΒ minute, Washington (3-2-1) earned its third corner kick of the match as Pascale DumesnilΒ sought out Olivia van der JagtΒ at the goalmouth as she headed the ball home for the game-winner.
Dumesnil was instrumental in the first goal of the match putting her second touch home off an Ameera Hussen pass putting UW up initially in the 55th minute.
UC Irvine (1-3-1) wouldn't go away saving its best for the 86thΒ minute as Claire GrouwinkelΒ tied things up chipping a shot off a defender and it making it 1-1 as the match spilled over into overtime.
The 'Eaters nearly drew first blood coming right out of the half with a goal that was taken away by an offside call.
Maddie Newsom was stellar in net stopping a career high nine shots including four in each regulation half. The 'Eaters were outshot, 17-12, firing half of theirs on target with Husky keeper Siena RuelasΒ stopping five.
The road trip rolls along with UCI's final match of the Nike Portland Invitational against the host Pilots Sunday, Sep. 9 with a 1:30 p.m. start.
NOTES: Maddie Newsom became the 8th Anteater keeper all-time with over 150 career saves, now with a career total of 158...Newsom'sΒ previous career high of saves in a match was 7 which she reached twice last season (at Cal Poly, at Hawai'i)...UCI drops to 0-8-0 all-time against Washington...Jessica MiclatΒ made her first appearance since the season opener vs. USC nursing an injury...Claire Grouwinkel'sΒ goal was the second of her career with both coming on the road
