EUGENE, Ore. -- The Pilots were toppled 5-0 by the Oregon Ducks this Thursday afternoon. The loss brings the Pilots to 5-15 and marks the last time that the Pilots will face off against Oregon this season.Â
Â
In a pre-competition ceremony, the Pilots honored three seniors this season including Jayde Harris, Noelani Helm and Grace Zilbert.Â
Â
Jayde Harris graduates as a strong member of both indoor volleyball and beach volleyball. She ends her time as a Pilot with two All-WCC indoor volleyball honors where she played a competitive and strong offensive player.Â
Â
Noelani Helm finishes her time as a Pilot with success in both disciplines of volleyball, as well. In the 2022 athletic year, Helm earned All-WCC honors in both beach and indoor volleyball, the only Pilot to accomplish that feat.Â
Â
Last but not least, Grace Zilbert ends her time with Portland with much success. Zilbert earned herself All-WCC honors in beach volleyball, a testament to her well-rounded abilities on the beach courts. She also established herself as a strong defensive player on the indoor courts, leading the Pilots in digs.Â
Â
The Pilots will begin conference play next week, Apr. 28-29th in Santa Monica, Calif. For more info and coverage, visit PortlandPilots.com.Â
