The report says Portland recorded eight first-half shots while Oregon State failed to register an attempt before the interval. That imbalance reflected the Pilots’ ability to keep the Beavers pinned back and recycle attacks around the penalty area.
Brooker prevented the game from getting away from Oregon State, making three saves before half-time. Two came within seconds of each other during a sustained Portland spell in the 35th minute, preserving a level score at the break.
Oregon State briefly improved after the interval, with Abby Smith forcing a save from Sophia Hills in the 52nd minute. But Portland remained the more consistent threat, and the decisive moment came from a corner.
The account says Tayvi Khann’s delivery found Settle, whose high effort beat Brooker and the Beavers’ defence. Brooker finished with seven saves from eight shots on target, underlining how much work Oregon State required from its goalkeeper.
The Beavers did create chances after conceding. Sophia Zboyan missed after breaking behind Portland’s defensive line, while Emily Brandt tested Hills in the closing stages. Further efforts from Zboyan, London Tsuma and Tatum Manley failed to produce an equaliser.
The report places Oregon State’s record at 1-7-1, making the next response crucial. The Beavers are expected to face Loyola Marymount on Friday, 18 September, with defensive discipline and possession under immediate scrutiny.
