After a strong start to the conference season, the Oregon State Women's Soccer team have started to struggle against West Coast Conference opponents. Last week the Beavers fell to Loyola Marymount 2-1 for their loss against a WCC opponent, on this past Wednesday Oregon State managed to pull off a 1-1 tie against the 20th ranked Pepperdine Waves, The Beavers now sit at 6-7-2 overall, and 4-1-2 in conference play headed into their final stretch of games.

Valerie Tobias picked up a deflected shot and fed the ball to Paola Figueroa, who headed the ball to McKenna Martinez, who planted the ball in the bottom right of the goal.The Beavers got a few other chances to tie the game up, but time was running tight and eventually the clock ran out.
Oregon State Women's Soccer Weekly Recap: Beavers Take Down Gonzaga 4-2 in First West Coast Conference Game Pepperdine came to Corvallis ranked 20th in the country, and while they controlled possession for much of the game, it was Oregon State who got on the scoreboard first. Carly Carraher and Claire Jones passed the ball back and forth in the 35th minute, before Carraher found an open Valerie Tobias who put the ball into the bottom left corner of the goal.
A 1-1 tie against a very good team is a decent result, but it's a result that leaves Oregon State, Pepperdine and LMU tied for second place in the WCC standings, and when the NCAA Selection Committee comes calling, it's tough to see them picking the Beavers unless they can pick up a quality win before the season closes.
