The Portland State women's soccer team embarks on a two-match weekend in California, aiming for their first goal of the season after two losses. Despite showing improvement against UNLV, they remain scoreless after being shut out in their first two matches. The Vikings face California Baptist and San Diego State, both of whom had a successful opener but have also switched conferences this season.

By the Numbers
  • The Vikings have yet to score after two losses, losing to Oregon (3-0) and UNLV (1-0).
  • Portland State has taken 18 shots with 14 different players contributing, highlighting a varied attacking effort.
State of Play
  • The Vikings are 0-2-0, needing a breakthrough against California Baptist and San Diego State this week.
  • Both opponents have only played one match, with California Baptist showing a strong defensive record and San Diego State starting with a solid performance against UC San Diego.
What's Next

After their matches in California, the Vikings’ performance will determine if they can pivot their season strategy and finally find the back of the net before upcoming conference games.

Bottom Line

The Vikings must capitalize on their opportunities to score in these matches to gain momentum for the rest of the season, as their current performance would jeopardize their postseason aspirations.
