Barton And Kornieck Score As Buffs Earn 10th Win Of The Season
October 29, 2017 | Soccer
EUGENE, Ore. – Tatum Barton and Taylor Kornieck both scored in the second half to lift Colorado to a 2-0 victory at Oregon on Sunday at Papé Field. The win stretched CU's unbeaten streak to four matches as they've won three and tied once during that stretch. The win also improved CU to 10-5-4 overall and 4-4-2 in the Pac-12, the fourth time in the past five seasons the Buffs have reached 10 wins. Oregon dropped to 8-10-0 and 2-8-0.
The win also broke CU's record for shutouts in a season with its 13th clean sheet of the year.
With two wins for six points over the weekend, the Buffs moved up to sixth place in the Pac-12, two points clear of Washington State, which lost 1-0 to Arizona on Sunday.
HOW IT HAPPENED: CU played a strong first half and had multiple chances to take the lead into halftime. The Buffs peppered five shots on goal before the break. Kornieck ripped a shot with her left foot from 30 yards out and it was deflected up and off the crossbar in the 27th minute. Less than a minute later, Kornieck's cross to Sarah Kinzner on the far left post was also saved as the Ducks thwarted two excellent chances for the Buffs.
In the 37th minute, Kornieck's free kick from 30 yards out was saved with a diving effort and seconds later, a point-blank putback attempt by Barton was also stopped.
Barton finally found the back of the net for CU in the 69th minute. She won a tackle near the left sideline, dribbled to the top of the 18 and fired from the left side of the box to the far post.
In the 81st minute, the Buffs earned a free kick from 25 yards out on the right side of the field and Joss Orejel's service into the box found the head of Kornieck, who redirected the ball into the upper-left corner of the net.
KEY STATISTICS: CU outshot Oregon 15-12 in the match, including 8-6 in shots on goal. Jalen Tompkins made six saves for her eighth clean sheet of the season. Kornieck had four shot attempts, including three on goal.
NOTES: Barton came on as a sub late in the first half … Tompkins stretched her personal shutout streak to 408:05, the second-longest in school history in conference-only play behind Jessica Keller's mark of 463:55 from 2004-05 in the Big 12 … CU's team shutout streak is now 453:05, also the second-best ever in conference-only matches, behind a streak of 463:55 from 2004-05 in the Big 12 … Orejel's assist was the 14th of her career, moving her into a tie for fifth all-time at CU, and first among defenders … Kornieck snapped a nine-match goal drought, the longest of her career, and her 17th career score (first this season in Pac-12 play; seventh career in conference matches) moves her into a tie for seventh in school history for goals scored … Tompkins's eight shutouts this season are the fifth-most in a season in CU history … Barton's goal was her fifth this season and the first time she has only scored one goal in a match (she had two braces prior to Sunday's win) … CU broke the single-season record for shutouts in a season with its 13th clean sheet (previous mark was 12 set in 2004 and 2014).
UP NEXT: CU will wrap up the 2017 regular season at Utah on Friday. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m.
POSTGAME QUOTES:
Danny Sanchez, head coach
On the match
"I thought we played well. First half, we created some really good opportunities and credit to their keeper, who made some really nice saves. Going into halftime, I thought we controlled the quality chances. Second half, first 15 minutes, we started slow. Oregon was putting some good pressure on us. But we made a couple subs and turned the momentum. It was a great individual effort from Tatum, who is always working and doing the dirty work and she got rewarded today [with the goal]. Taylor's goal was a great service from Joss, but there are not many players in the country that score the goal that Taylor scored.
"To win on the road against a team that was coming off two 3-0 wins at home in the Pac-12, it was a very good win for the Buffs."
On Barton's play off the bench
"Tatum had a good chance off a rebound off a free kick from Taylor [in the first half] and was causing a lot of havoc. Coming off the bench, I thought she provided a great spark, not just because of her goal, but because of her energy and her work rate when she came into the game. I'm pleased for her to be able to get a goal to be rewarded for her work today."
On Kornieck's first goal in Pac-12 play
"Her two-way work this year has been fantastic. She's invaluable to what we do on the defensive side of the ball and on the attacking side. Sometimes you get rewarded and sometimes you don't. And today she get rewarded because of a really great individual effort by her to get up and finish that ball. It was first class."
On the play the team to get the fourth consecutive clean sheet
"The back four were fantastic and all played 90 minutes today. Kelsey [Aaknes], Hannah [Cardenas], Alex [Vidger] and Joss [Orejel] really limited their opportunities. They have some dangerous players and when they got in a dangerous spot, I thought we did a good job blocking shots and pushing things wide. JJ, her communication and organization in the back was a key to our success because Oregon does send a lot of numbers forward, and like I said, they had six goals in their last two conference games. I felt Cassie [Phillips] and Nancy [Best], who played the holding mid, did a good job today of just shielding the back four and also distributing. It was really a team effort from everybody. Especially when we got the goal, I felt all 11 players on the field really contributed well."
Taylor Kornieck, sophomore, midfielder
On scoring her goal
"It was a free kick and Joss whipped in a really good ball and I ran near post and just flicked it on and it went in to the far post. For me personally, it was my first goal of the [conference] season so it felt really great to get one in."
On the importance of getting six points this weekend
"It was really important to help us get into the tournament. For the team, it was a really big confidence booster going into Utah."
On playing Utah on Friday
"It's really important and we just have to be ready. We came in with really good focus in this game and we have to carry it over to Utah and just play our game."
On the play of Barton off the bench
"Tatum came in with really good energy and she really helped us up top. She won the ball from the centerback and just cut in and had a beautiful shot to the far post."
On getting the first goal
"It was really key. Once we get the first goal, it wasn't as hard to get the second one. It was really good by Tatum to get one to the far post for us and carry us for the entire game."
The win also broke CU's record for shutouts in a season with its 13th clean sheet of the year.
