The Pilots are celebrating the 10-year anniversary of that accomplishment all season long, and you can be part of the festivities.

Portland will bring that '05 team back to The Bluff during the weekend of Oct. 17-18 and they will be honored during the Pilots' game against Santa Clara on Sunday afternoon. A banquet, which is open to the public, will also be held the night before the game at the new Beauchamp recreation & wellness center.

During that 2005 title run, then-senior Christine Sinclair and then-freshman Megan Rapinoe, along with a loaded and talented roster, capped an undefeated season (23-0-2) with a 4-0 drubbing of UCLA in the title game. It was Portland's second national title in four years and Sinclair claimed her second consecutive MAC Hermann Trophy, which is awarded to the national player of the year.
