He was also seventh in the country in goals. No Pilot has scored as many points as him since 2012 or as many goals as him since 2013. It's the second time he's earned All-WCC honors.
 
Tasouris was goalkeeper of the year after earning allowing the fewest goals per match in the WCC at 1.023. This is the second time that Tasouris has earned All-WCC recognition in as many years, having made the second team last year.
 
Fernandez was a critical part of the midfield for the Pilots' attack, cobbling together seven assists and notching a goal as well. His seven assists ranked tied for second in the WCC. This is the second time Fernandez has earned All-WCC honors for his play, having made the second team back in the spring 2021 season.

Offensively, Pierre also added a goal off a header against Seton Hall while Bonilla added a goal and an assist in a more defensive role this season. This is the third time Pierre has earned All-WCC honors and the first time Bonilla has done so.
 
Nava was one of the top scorers in the WCC, putting up four goals and nine assists on the season. His nine assists ranks 14th nationally and is first in the WCC. His goal against the Gonzaga Bulldogs was a game-winning goal as well. This is his second time having made an All-WCC team, earning honorable mention while making the freshman team as well.

He also scored four goals against Utah Tech, the most by a Pilot since Connor Casey scored five against Gonzaga in 1999.
 
Sangha earned honorable mention in his final year with Portland after scoring five goals and adding six assists as well. He was the first Pilot in five years to earn at least three assists in a match earlier this year when he did so against Indiana. He was also tied for second in the WCC in points with 16. This is his first WCC honor.
 
Finally, rounding out the freshman team, Jeppe was a key player in both the midfield and defensively while Umar dazzled in his minutes, scoring three goals and adding one assist. Both players played in 17 matches.
 
The Pilots had a stellar regular season, going 12-2-3 and 6-1 in WCC play. They finished second in the WCC, which is their highest finish since 2016 when they won the conference. They were first in several offensive categories in the conference and nationally ranked third in scoring offense (2.71) and points per game (8.24), fifth in goal differential (29), seventh in points (140) and goals (46) and 10th in total assists (48).
