Griz soccer loses two close matches over the weekend
The Griz soccer team was outplayed in both of their matches this weekend but the total differential for the games ended up being a mere two goals.
The Griz lost 2-1 to Washington State in their season-opener on Friday. As I said I would, I made it to this game. The stats may or may not tell otherwise but Washington State controlled the play in this game. The Griz went up 1-0 on a lofty cross from the right side that found it's way into the left side of the net. Less than ten minutes later Wazzu tied it up as a forward got behind the D. Only three minutes later, the Cougars scored again from a shout outside the 18-yard box.
Like I said, the Griz were dominated in this match. They were outshot 19-4. That's a lot.
I wasn't able to make it to Sunday's game, a 1-0 loss to Gonzaga. The shots were closer but not as close as they should be. It was 15-10 in favor of the Bulldogs.
Next weekend the Griz travel to Oregon for matches at Oregon and Oregon State.
