SAN MATEO, Calif. – Portland senior Taryn Ries is the University Credit Union West Coast Conference Offensive Player of the Week after scoring both goals in Portland's 2-0 win against Pacific on Saturday. It is the second weekly honor for Ries in the last month.
 
Ries provided the game-winner late in the first half. Freshman forward Nedya Sewan created the chance with crafty play in the left corner. She bent a right-footed cross between two defenders to the near post and Ries took it off one bounce and flicked it into the right-side netting.

The Ridgefield, Wash. native then converted a penalty in the 58th minute to double the score. Ries has now converted both her PK attempts this season and is 8-for-9 from the spot in her career. She increased her career goals total to 29 and moved into 17th place on the Portland all-time charts. 

Ries is tied for the WCC lead with five goals scored already this season through just four matches.
