KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Portland Pilots Women's Soccer had two players earn regional recognition for their work on and off the field, with defender Violet Rademacher and midfielder Aliyah Dockter making the United Soccer Coaches Women's Scholar All-West Region Second Team.
 
To qualify for the honors, a student-athlete must post at least a 3.40 cumulative GPA while holding at least junior athletic standing at their current institution. Student-Athletes must also be in their second year at their institution. All qualified student-athletes have played in at least 75% of games during the season and must have earned elite athletic honors, such as All-American, All-Region or at least all-conference.

Rademacher was a stout defender all season long, making the All-West Region Second Team as well as a scholar All-Region team. The leading scorer for the Pilots, the Idaho native had seven goals and added two assists this season while championing the back line. An All-WCC First Team selection as well, she was sixth in the WCC in goals. Her 1,710 minutes also led the Pilots. She guided a Portland defense that allowed just 12 goals on the year, the second lowest total in the WCC. Portland's .632 goals-against average was also second in the WCC and 17^th in the nation.
 
Aliyah Dockter earned scholar all-region honors as well as all-region honors for her performance on the field, doing both for the first time in her career. Dockter, who garnered All-WCC honorable mention, scored two goals on the year for Portland, both of them game winners. Dockter was crucial in the midfield for Portland, starting every match.
 
The Pilots put together one of their best years in recent history in conference play, finishing with a 7-1-3 record against WCC opponents to finish tied for second in the league. Their second-place finish was the highest for the program since 2013 while their seven wins were their highest since that same year. Portland finished 10-3-6 overall for their third 10-plus win season in four years and their best winning percentage (.682) since that 2013 season as well.  Get Your Tickets Now!
