PORTLAND, Ore. --- Portland senior Taryn Ries scored twice in the first half and again after the break to complete the hat trick as the Pilots won an exhibition match 8-0 over the Lewis & Clark Pioneers on Saturday afternoon. Selma Licina scored twice for Portland, and Gabi Brummett tallied a goal and two assists.
 
Ries opened the scoring in the first minute. From the left side of the 18-yard box, she hit one into the upper right corner of the frame to hand the home side the early advantage. Moments later the score was 2-0 when Licina finished on a free kick sent in by Brummett.
 
In the 24th minute, Brummett gained possession near the half way line and made her way up the field. She then played a perfectly timed through ball to Ries, who buried a shot into the back of the net to give the Pilots the 3-nil lead.
 
It was then 4-0 just before halftime when a ball fell to the feet of Brummett. She hit a well-struck shot into the far side of the net, giving Portland the four-goal edge at the half.
 
The second half began much like the first when the Pilots scored in the opening minute, with this goal coming from Licina. The Pilots were then awarded a penalty in the 57th minute, and Ries capitalized with her third goal of the day.
 
Jamie Rita added another for the Pilots in the 65th minute when she got a slight touch on a ball sent in by MJ Roe, sending it past the keeper, and Roe capped the scoring with a goal in the 86th minute.
 
The Pilots are scheduled to open the regular season next Saturday when they host Oregon State at Merlo Field. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m.
