The Portland State women's soccer team struggled offensively, suffering a 1-0 defeat against UNLV. The Rebels scored the only goal in the 20th minute and maintained a shooting advantage in the first half. However, the Vikings improved in the second half, generating a total of nine shots, but failed to equalize. With this loss, the Vikings continue to seek their first goal of the season after being shut out previously.

By the Numbers
  • PSU outshot UNLV 9-to-5 in the second half.
  • UNLV had a 13-to-2 advantage in corner kicks.
Yes, But

Despite a more aggressive second half, the Vikings have struggled for goals, failing to find the net in their last two matches. This raises concerns about their offensive capabilities as the season progresses.

State of Play
  • The Vikings are 0-2-0 so far this season, still seeking their first goal.
  • UNLV previously lead possession with 61% in the first half, but the second half was much closer at 51%-49%.
What's Next

The Vikings aim to break their scoring drought in upcoming matches at Cal Baptist and San Diego State next week.

Bottom Line

The Vikings must capitalize on their scoring opportunities to turn around their early-season struggles and find their first goal as they head into crucial games.
