PORTLAND, Ore. --- Following a successful fall campaign, the University of Portland is 25th in the most recent Capital One Cup Men's Standings, which were released on Wednesday. Portland's ranking is boosted by the cross country team's historical performances at the 2018 NCAA National Championship, along with men's soccer reaching the second round of the playoffs.
 
The men's cross country team finished third at the XC championships, marking the third time in five years that the Pilots have finished on the podium (top four finish). Three Pilots earned All-America honors, tying the program record set last season. Junior Emmanuel Roudolff-Levisse placed 21st to lead Portland and garner his second cross country All-America award. Senior Logan Orndorff crossed the line in 25th place for his first All-America honor, while senior Nick Hauger placed 40th for his second award in as many years. The third-place finish caps a phenomenal season that featured Portland winning its third NCAA West Regional title (1993, 2017).
 
The men's soccer team reached the NCAA Postseason for the second time in the past three years. The Pilots were rewarded with a home match against UCLA, which was the program's first home playoff game since 2002. A 1-0 win over the Bruins sent Portland to the second round for the first time since 2009.
