The high number of fouls for Oregon State definitely depicted the Beavers tough style of play as they got after the Cardinal, determined to make sure that they came away with something in this opening weekend of Pac-10 play.
"The Pac-10 is extremely tough and you can't afford to lose a game and then come back and lose another so we had to get a result today," senior forward Josh Cameron said. "We came out and played hard and defensively we played extremely well."
Apart from the penalty kick, the Beaver defense bounced back from the tough loss against Cal to thwart any threat Stanford came up with. Steve Spangler was in goal for OSU and had six saves on the day with three clutch saves coming in the first overtime.
"It's always disappointing to have the game tied up by a penalty kick," Hasson said, "especially when you're up and dominating the game it kind of feels like we bailed them out."
The outcome of a tie may have very well been a disappointing one for a team inches away from victory. However the Beavers are still in good position in one of the toughest conferences in America with another home game this coming weekend against the University of Washington.
The tie now gives the Beavers an 0-1-1 record in conference play and a 3-5-3 record overall, still very much in the thick of things with a lot of soccer left to play.
"I think that was a good effort, and I think we're taking steps in the right direction," Kelly said. "I definitely think we're ready for U-Dub next weekend."
