SAN BRUNO, Calif. – The Portland Pilots had two players earn WCC All-Academic Honors on Monday, with Violet Rademacher and Eli Rapp both being selected to the WCC All-Academic First Team. 10 other Pilots received Honorable Mention: Hailey Bagby, Xayla Black, Adison Bosa, Aliyah Dockter, Sophia Hills, Mao Ito, Talia Niebles-Webb, Taylor Norman, Ruby Settle and Kyah Zurek.
To qualify for the WCC All-Academic First Team, a student-athlete must post at least a 3.20 cumulative GPA while having spent a year in residence at their current institution while being in their second year of competition and at least a sophomore academically. All who qualify earn honorable mention, with the first team being selected later.
Rademacher is officially a two-time honoree for the Pilots, adding to her numerous academic awards. Rademacher played in 12 matches this year with 12 starts, captaining the back line in each of those matches. She scored two goals on the year, with her goal against Portland State being a game-winner. She played in five of Portland's seven shutouts this year. Last year, Rademacher made the United Soccer Coaches Scholar All-West Region Second Team and was the first Pilot to make the Scholar All-American Team since 2009.
Rapp earns WCC All-Academic honors for the first time in her career. Rapp played in 15 matches with 15 starts primarily on the back line. She played in four of Portland's shutouts as well. Prior to this, Rapp had earned CSC All-Academic honors in 2024.
The Pilots finished their season this past weekend, posting a 6-9-3 record overall and 2-4-3 record in WCC play. Their seven shutouts ranked second in the WCC.
