PEEK INTO THE PORT

• The Portland Pilots are 6-3-5 overall and 3-1-2 in WCC play, most recently tying the Saint Mary's Gaels on the road in a hard-fought 0-0 draw.
• Portland held the Gaels scoreless in part due to the effort of Sophia Hills, who posted four saves in the shutout. Her performance helped her earn WCC Defensive Player of the Week honors for the first time this season.
• Portland has been one of the best defensive teams both in the conference and in the nation, ranking first nationally in goals-against average and 24^th nationally (0.643).
• The Pilots are also second in shutout percentage (.500) and total shutouts (7). Hills has been in goal for every shutout, giving her the most by a full-time starter in her first year since Bre Norris in 2021 while ranking second in the conference.
• Hills leads the WCC in GAA at .593 and ranks 15^th nationally. Her save percentage of .843 also ranks second and is 36^th nationally.
• The Pilots have allowed just nine goals through 14 matches this season. It's the third time in four seasons they've held opponents to that few goals through that many games.
• Five different Pilots have scored this season: Violet Rademacher (4), Hailey Still (3), Hailey Bagby (2), Aliyah Dockter (1) and Mao Ito (1).
• With two game-winning goals, Rademacher is fourth in the conference in the game-winners.
• Nevaeh Peregrina was named to the U.S. Women's National Team U-20 Training Camp Roster on Monday. She will train with the team from Oct. 22-30 in Kansas City.
• Peregrina had two assists on the season, the only Pilot with multiple assists this year.
• The Pilots are coming off a season that saw them finish 9-5-6 overall and 4-3-3 in WCC play. They've won at least nine games each of the last four years, marking the first time the Pilots have put together at least nine wins a season for four straight seasons since a stretch between 2010 and 2013.
• Last season, they were second in the WCC in goal differential (19), goals-against average (0.850) and shutout percentage (.400) while leading the conference in save percentage (.828).
• The Pilots were picked to finish sixth in the annual West Coast Conference Preseason Coaches Poll, with Keeley Dockter representing the Pilots on the All-WCC Preseason Team. This is Dockter's first time making it on the preseason squad.
• Jillian McBride is the lone returner for the Pilots to earn All-WCC honors last season, making the freshman team. She scored one goal and added two assists in her first year on The Bluff.
• The Pilots return 16 players from last year's squad while adding 11 newcomers.
• Among the key returners are forward Hailey Still and Hailey Bagby, who were second and third respectively on the team in total points. Still scored seven goals for 14 points while Bagby added four goals and four assists as a defender.
• Michelle French is in her eighth season as head coach of the Pilots. She's posted a 66-44-26 record overall and led the Pilots to their first postseason appearance in 2022 in nine years.
