Weber’s Terrific Night Leads OU Past Oral Roberts

August 25, 2024 | Soccer

NORMAN — Senior forward Leonie Weber scored a goal and added two assists as the University of Oklahoma soccer team earned a 4-1 result over Oral Roberts on Sunday evening.
 
Sunday's season-high attendance of 1,157 fans saw Oklahoma (3-1-0) add its third win of the season by downing Oral Roberts (1-2-0). The "Pups at the Pitch" festivities included a corgi race at halftime with 12 corgis competing. Over 50 dogs attended the match.
 
The Sooner attack placed 16 of their 22 shots on frame (72.7%), generating plenty of high-quality chances in the box. Junior forward Alexis Washington scored her first collegiate goal, senior defender Andie Wolfe struck for her second and graduate transfer forward Sophia Green registered the 25th marker of her career alongside Weber's 15th to account for the four Sooner goals.
 
OU keeper Caroline Duffy made four saves and directed the back line to hold ORU to just six shots on the evening. The Golden Eagles' lone goal was scored on a penalty kick in the 87th minute.
 
Washington provided the match's first goal with a well-placed shot to the upper left corner, receiving a pass from Hadley Murrell and launching the ball over the outstretched hands of the Oral Roberts keeper at the 12th minute. Green pushed the advantage to 2-0 with a strong finish off a beautiful ball sent into the box by Weber in the 21st minute.
 
Six minutes into the second half, Weber sent a corner kick to the near post that Wolfe stepped up to receive, heading it through for a 3-0 OU lead. Weber added a goal to her already-terrific line at the 62nd minute, sending home a penalty kick to mark her program record-tying fourth career PK marker.
 
Green placed four of her five shots on frame while Ella Pappas added a match-high six shots, sending three on target.
