(STANFORD, Calif.) - The Oregon State men’s soccer team lost to Stanford, 3-0, in a Pacific-10 Conference match Sunday afternoon at Laird Q. Cagan Stadium.

The Beavers (6-8-0, 1-6-0 Pac-10) had 15 shots in the match with five of those on goal. Senior Travis Sanchez had five shots, senior Brian Ramsey had three shots and freshman Alex Eckerson came off the bench to add two shots.

“We gave up goals early on that were very similar to Cal,” Oregon State head coach Steve Simmons said about the 2-1 double overtime loss to California on Friday. “I feel like we didn’t lose the game. We just beat ourselves again. It’s super disappointing because these things just aren’t going our way.”

Stanford (8-9-0, 4-5-0 Pac-10) got all of its goals in the first half by Dominique Yahyavi in the fourth minute, Ryan Thomas in the 14th minute and Dersu Abolfathi in the 40th minute.

“We aren’t doing the job we need to do in key moments,” Simmons said. “We just need to coach them up and the guys need to respond.”

The Beavers return home to Paul Lorenz Field to play San Diego State at 7 p.m. on Nov. 5 and UCLA at 1 p.m. on Nov. 7.
