TODAY (Saturday), the men play Seattle Pacific at 4 o'clock, preceded at 2 o'clock by the women playing Western Washington.

There's also a game at noon...OSU vs. GU, I think..

Busy day, just about to head over to Joe Etzel Field to watch the Pilots beat BYU!

Anyone have a report for the men's and/or women's games on Saturday? We had a big birthday party and couldn't make them.

The women tied 2-2

The men were down 0-1 at the half when I had to leave for a previously scheduled engagement.

I don’t recall that Benji, Gio, or Rey made appearances.

Spanish goalkeeper Nico Campuzano commits to the Pilots!

http://portlandpilots.com/news/2018/4/27/msoc-spanish-goalkeeper-nico-campuzano-commits-to-the-pilots.aspx

He will have three years of eligibility remaining.

Goalkeeper Nico Campuzano, who spent the past year playing with UD Las Palmas in Spain, has committed the University of Portland men's soccer program, announced head coach Nick Carlin-Voigt.

Prior to his stint with Las Palmas, Campuzano was with FC Barcelona from 2014-16. He also previously spent time with Real Valladolid and Real Racing Club de Santander.

And now Nick has the experienced goalkeeper he wanted, the international player he wanted, and the maturity on the roster he wanted....all in one player.

If we've learned one thing about Coach Carlin-Voit, he is an excellent recruiter!

Incoming men's soccer freshman Jake Arteaga, who is ranked the No. 9 recruit in the country, has been named to the U.S. U-19 National Team that will travel to Trnava, Slovakia, to participate in 2018 Slovakia Cup, which is scheduled for May 1-12. Arteaga has been a regular in the U.S. Men's National Team system since 2014, and this will be his U-19 debut

Arteaga is part of UP's No. 3 recruiting class, which includes five players (Kelee Cornfield-Saunders U-17's, Alejandro J. Pereira U-17's, Greg Tracey U-18's and U-20's, and Tristan Weber U-17's) with youth national team experience.

In Slovakia, the U.S. has been drawn into Group B with Czech Republic, Kazakhstan and Ukraine, while Azerbaijan, Hungary, Slovakia and Wales make up Group A. All teams will face a fourth opponent in the placement stage, but only the two group winners will vie for Slovakia Cup Champions.

It looks like this is the U-18s not the U-19s.

USA beat Kazakhstan 8-0 this afternoon in their first match.

Lovely little city, Trnava, though not what one would call a hot destination.

Apparently Kris Reaves had a sports hernia when he left UP for FC Dallas. Now, after surgery, he's out "4 to 6 weeks."

Edit 2: I did that thing again where I accidentally edit my old posts instead of quoting them... Sorry!

Here is the UP link at least to what I had posted earlier: http://portlandpilots.com/news/2018/5/10/msoc-paul-christensen-makes-mls-debut-with-atlanta-united.aspx

With Guzan out for the next match, it will be interesting to see if he gets a start.

That would have been a goal against even the best of goal keepers, but it was even sweeter against former OSU keeper, Nolan Wirth.

Have to hope fan favorite and two-time Oregon high school player of the year, Gio, will stick around two more years....I think he will.

Got to see the Friday night PDL game between Portland and TSS. Dixon was MOTM for Portland, causing all kinds of trouble for the TSS defence while playing up front. Unfortunately for Portland they lost that game on an Erik Edwardson goal set up by Eric de Graaf. Gio did not start and played in the second half and aquitted himself well as always.
