Tibbling Scores Historic Four Goals, Pilots win 6-0

PORTLAND, Ore. -- The Portland Pilots got a massive showing from forward CJ Tibbling, who totaled four goals in a 6-0 shutout victory over Utah Tech. The Pilots are unbeaten through nine games with a 6-0-3 record.

How it Happened

  • Portland took a 1-0 lead when Tibbling scored his second goal of the season in the 20th minute, assisted by Brandon Cambridge.
  • The Pilots added another score on a goal from Sebastian Nava -- his third goal of the season -- in the 56th minute.
  • Portland went up 3-0 on Tibbling's 57th-minute goal, his second of the game. Nick Denley assisted the goal.
  • The Pilots kept Utah Tech off the scoreboard and took a 4-0 lead with a 64th-minute goal from Muslim Umar, his first goal of the season and of his career. Nava assisted the goal.
  • Portland took a 5-0 lead on Tibbling's third goal of the game in the 78th minute, assisted by Buba Fofanah and Greg Tracey.
  • The Pilots increased their lead to 6-0 thanks to an 82nd-minute goal from Tibbling for the historic haul. Fofanah assisted the goal. 

Game Notes

  • Tibbling's four goals are the most by a Pilot since Connor Casey had five in 1999. He is one of six Pilots to have four goals in a game.
  • The Pilots' 25 goals are the most by a Pilot squad through nine games since 1999.
  • The Pilots are unbeaten through nine games for the first time since 2018.
  • Sebastian Nava is now second in the WCC in assists with six on the year. He's scored a goal and an assist twice now this season.
  • Umar's goal was the first of his Pilot career.
  • Portland is the only NCAA Division I school in the country with an undefeated men's and women's soccer program. This is the best start for both teams combined through this many games (nine for the men, 10 for the women) since 1995.
Portland Head Coach Nick Carlin-Voigt on the win

"Really proud of our entire roster tonight. It was always going to be a tough turnaround physically playing two games in 48 hours. I told the guys if we stay committed to each other's success, the sky is the limit for this group. You saw a very unselfish team tonight, which makes our coaching staff happy. Awesome for CJ (Tibbling) to give the group the lift we needed with four goals and Muslim (Umar) to score his first goal of his career in a Pilot jersey. Buba (Fofanah) had two nice assists in the second half, and you could see our depth was on full display tonight, which is exactly what's needed to unlock our full potential. We now turn our attention to Season Two and the start of WCC play as we host Saint Mary's Friday at 7 p.m. We need the entire community to come out and get behind the Pilots!"

Up Next

The Pilots will open conference play this Friday, Sept. 30 against the Saint Mary's Gaels. Kickoff for the match is set for 7 p.m. Check PortlandPilots.com for live stats and video options.
