Pilots Draw Broncos 0-0 to Finish Regular Season

SANTA CLARA, Calif. – The Portland Pilots closed the 2026 regular season with a 0-0 draw against the Santa Clara Broncos. The tie puts Portland at 6-9-3 overall and 2-4-3 in WCC play.

Portland's shutout is the seventh they've secured this season, with Sophia Hills in goal for all seven of them. Hills, who posted four saves on the day to reach 61 on the year, has 17 shutouts now for her career. Portland has posted at least that many shutouts every season since 2021. Portland got four shots off and put two on goal, with Mao Ito and Journey Middleborn both putting shots on target.

How it Happened

It was a tight battle early, with both teams getting off only a combined four shots. Three of those came from Santa Clara, with Hills making a pair of key saves to keep it level. Middleborn's shot in the 17th minute was on frame but saved by Ally Harrison. Portland and Santa Clara were tied at zero after the first 45.

Santa Clara put the pressure on the Pilots the entire second half, putting up nine shots. Including five in the final 15 minutes. Portland had opportunities as well, the biggest one coming on a penalty kick in the 75th minute. Violet Rademacher took the PK, but couldn't put it away. A few key defensive plays by Portland's back line kept Santa Clara from finding the go-ahead goal, and the Pilots earned a 0-0 tie.
