Christine Sinclair scored a pair of first-half goals Saturday as #6 Portland beat #13 Nebraska. The Pilots (4-2-0) have outscored Nebraska (2-2-1), 11-0 in the last three meetings between the two teams. Sinclair has scored four goals in the past two days.

Sinclair’s first goal at 29:17, off assists from Erin Misaki and Rozwadowska, opened up a game largely being played end-to-end to that point. The goal opened up the Pilot attack, and 14 minutes later, Sinclair capitalized on Nebraska’s gambling defense, stealing the ball from Husker keeper some 16 yards from goal, and sending the ball into an open net from the right side of the box.

Rebekah Patrick’s first career goal put Portland up at 53:48, after Erin Misaki’s through ball left the Montana freshman with just the keeper to beat. Patrick slotted her 10-yard shot to the left of Nebraska’s goalie. Rozwadowska then capped the scoring at 81:03 with her first career goal. Colleen Salisbury’s cross was headed to Rozwadowska inside the box, and Rozwadowska easily settled the ball, and banged it home from six yards.

Portland outshot Nebraska 15-7, 7-3 in the second half, and Lauren Arase made four routine saves for her second shutout of the season.

The Pilots, which beat Nebraska 3-0 and 4-0 last season, return to action on Sunday at 2:15 p.m. against Denver, following CS Fullerton vs. Washington, in the NIKE Portland Invitational.
