Southern Oregon University's soccer teams were back in Raider Stadium on Sunday in the first games against Warner Pacific.
The women's team won 1-0 while the men's team lost 1-0.
The pitch.
The first game of the two-game series for both school's mens and womens squads.
We'll start with the raiders down in ashland.
The women's team had a chances in the first half to open up the scoring against warner pacific but just couldn't get them past the keeper or shots missed high and wide.
They did dominate possesion and were constantly putting the pressure on the knights.
Finally the warner pacific defense burst as trinity rhoades hits sarah mauk on a long pass, placed perfectly.
Mauk goes to work and muscles home the lone goal of the match.
Raiders win 1-nil.
Sarah mauk: "that wasn't exactly the ball i was looking for but it was definitely the ball that needed to happen.
And so i applaud trin for that, it was a beautiful ball.
And then i was excited then i got nervous because i saw these players coming in so i was just like, 'i'm gonna muscle my way through this.'
I had to go for it and i just kind of threw my whole body into it and got that toe poke into the side netting which is nice."
Before the men's and women's game, both sides took a knee before kickoff to show support for the communities in the u-s facing injustices.
In the 32-nd minute, the knights offense gets close to scoring and zak woolley makes a tackle that's called a foul and warner pacific is awarded a penalty kick that they put away.
That ended up being the lone goal in the match.
