Join Portland Pilots Men's Soccer for Their Second Annual Gala!

Portland Pilots Men's Soccer is inviting you to join for second annual Men's Soccer Gala on Saturday, April 25 at the University of Portland!

"We are excited to bring back this event to celebrate UP Men's Soccer's incredible history while looking forward to the future," Portland head coach Nick Carlin-Voigt said. "We invite all alumni, community members and friends of the program to spend an evening with us on April 25."

The event will celebrate the accomplishments of Portland Pilots Men's Soccer while also fundraising to continue building what has become one of the top programs in the nation. The event will feature dinner, speeches from leaders in soccer across the Pacific Northwest and the Portland area and both a silent and live auction.

Momentum is strong for Portland, who put together one of the best seasons in program history this past season. Their 14-2-4 record gave them their best winning percentage since 1988 (.800) and helped them earn the 8-seed in the NCAA Tournament. It was the third time in program history the Pilots have earned the first-round bye and the second time under Carlin-Voigt. They advanced to the Elite Eight for the second time under Carlin-Voigt and third time since 1995, becoming one of just four programs to reach the Elite Eight twice in the last four years. It was the first time they've ever hosted the Elite Eight as well.
 
The Pilots were ranked in the top 10 nationally from Sept. 9 onward, including ranking as high as first in the nation. It was the first time in program history the Pilots have ranked first overall in the United Soccer Coaches Poll. Along with the team success, the Pilots have had eight players selected to the MLS SuperDraft the last three seasons and three players earn invites to U.S. Men's National Team camps. Three of the Pilots' most recent MLS SuperDraft selections – Efetobo Aror (12th overall in 2025), Joe Highfield (11th overall in 2026) and Nikos Clarke-Tosczak (19th overall in 2026) – have all elected to return for the 2026 season as well.

Doors open at 5:30 p.m. at the Bauccio Commons Board Room, with dinner and the program set to start at 6:30 p.m. Individual tickets start at $200, with full tables set at $1,500.
