Junior defender Emma Nelson will write a season-long blog for the women's soccer team on PortlandPilots.com for 2010. She will provide behind-the-scenes access to the program and share anecdotes, stories from the road and whatever else is on her mind as the Pilots chase a third NCAA Championship. Bookmark www.portlandpilots.com/NelsonBlog and follow along as the season progresses.

For feedback or suggested blog topics for Emma, contact Portland Athletic Media Relations Director Jason Brough at brough@up.edu.
