Former Pilot Sightings

Spotted Ruth Exley (Gilliam), Cori Alexander, and Stephanie Cox (Lopez) at the game yesterday. Got a chance to talk for a bit with Steph. I had the pleasure of living in the residence halls with her, her husband, and Cori. Sounds like she's doing well, getting ready for the league and going to LA.

Anyone spot anybody else? I'm sure Scifo, Sinc, and others were there (seen them at other games recently), but didn't see them.

I thought I saw Steph walking with wozie..

Sinc wasn't there this weekend. But if you looked hard enough, you would have seen a lot of Pilots Way Past, from the early, middle and late 90's.

Saw Rebecca Mierbechtal

Which early '90s Pilots? Any recent Milbrett sightings? I though that I read she was up north playing club ball in Canada... Is that true?

typo: thought...

I saw Tiff at the Pepperdine game. My nieces had a little UP soccer ball and she signed it!

Sweet Stonehouse. I saw her at a concert several years ago.... She's so approachable...the building block of our program in my opinion.

No doubt about it.

I always think of Clive's interview after the 2002 championship win, when he makes a point to thank Tiff and say it was because she came to Portland "when it wasn't cool to come to Portland" was the reason why the program had reached the pinacle it did.

Tiff wasn't there either...she is no longer under contract with the Whitecaps. Scuttlebutt is she's hoping to get drafted into the WPS, along with a few other Pilot alums.

Michelle Voiland was there with some of her old teammates. She now coaches at Oregon State University with fellow Pilot Linus Rhode.

I also saw more recent alums Cori, Emily Michaelson and Natalie Budge chatting it up at halftime

Cori was interviewed at halftime of friday's game for the online audio. She talked about her thoughts on moving to New Jersey (her brother lives close by, so she's excited about that), the player she's most excited to play with (Rampone), what's been going on at UP training (G's been giving them time to take care of injuries) and her big hobby of photography. Check out her website HERE. I know she's sold some of her stuff in the past, so if you see anything you like you can email her and she'll probably sell you a print.

Lots of alums. It is the Pilots extended family.

Cool, what kind of music does she play? I'd love to see her live!

You mentioned Cori's halftime interview with none other than Pilot great Angela Harrison (who provided both play by play and color for the audio broadcast). As a former goal keep her voice was nice and loud. They plugged Cori's photography site www.corialexander.com if you want to check her other passion.

Anyone see Kristen Moore? Was she there to see her sister Kasey play? Does Blood come before Purple in this case?

GO PILOTS!!!

Some of us bleed purple...

Anyone see Anna del Bosque? Sigh............

You wish, Stoney!

I didn't see Kristen Moore, but one of the faculty members sitting near me said he had seen her in bleachers.

Speaking of Kristen Moore...Does anyone have a video of her assist to Sinclair on the winning goal in the '02 final? I remember her intercepting a Santa Clara pass, taking it up the left side and then sending it to Sinc in front of the goal. We all know what happened after that. IMHO, this was one of the greatest moments in the history of women's soccer on the bluff.

Done - and more.

Lovin' it!

I'd forgotten how Christine always held her arms down and out like she was about to take off from the runway after goals.

Great memories! Let's make some more in the next three weeks!

Also this one:

beat me to it. I was about to post it. Moore's steal starts about 3:50 in.
