Top-seed and regular season champion Oregon State dispatched fourth-seed UC Riverside 3-1 in the Pac-12 Men's Soccer Championship semifinal from Paul Lorenz Field in Corvallis Sunday night, behind a brace from freshman midfielder Evan Carlock. The Beavers are now set to host San Diego State for the league title next Saturday, Nov. 14.

The Beavers were buoyed by a three-goal flurry across a 22-minute span in the first half, including a pair of goals just 24 seconds apart. Carlock fired the opening salvo in the 12th minute, when he took a pass from Henry Blake, who had beaten his defender and Carlock was able to slot it home.

Carlock struck again in the 33rd minute, followed quickly by midfielder Tim Hoffman who struck for the Beavers' third off a deflection. Oregon State was able to see it out in the second half, despite being outshot by the visiting Highlanders 17-14. Oregon State goalkeeper John Nicolson finished with six saves in the win.

UC Riverside was able to pull a goal back in the 68th minute when Eric Martinez found the back of the net against the run of play, but the visitors were unable to fight all the way back, hitting the woodwork twice.

The Beavers will take on third-seed San Diego State on Saturday from Paul Lorenz Field, with the match time yet to still be determined. That information will be released at a later time. The teams drew 2-2 on Sept. 30, in Corvallis in their previous meeting this season.
