Video from First Practice

Just saw this posted on the Portland Pilots Facebook page (yes, you should go become a fan... right now!)

Lots of good enthusiasm for the upcoming season... and I love Garrett's quote about "Your going to love the team, and they're going to love you back." So true!

And also his message about building on the foundation and the tradition of Pilots soccer: maybe a little different each year but the heart of the program is the same.

Danis is all business, "this is our job".

All that video and they didn't show Cloee crushing Micaela like a gnat....

I'm sold! I think I might go to a few games.

Me too, UPSF! My job is to be a fan, and Section B makes a great office.

Can't wait for the season to start! Imagine this!

Jess and Elli (best d-back pair in the country) forcing attacks to the middle where the unfortunate soul would meet Keelin... and Cloee "The Gnat-Crusher" Colohan! Ouch!!!

GO PILOTS!!!

Help me with the photos from first practice so I can learn all the new players. Many of the gals have new du's this year and they don't have pics up on the roster for the frosh yet.

On pic #2 who has single pony tail that is standing in black. I think Cruz has single but is sitting in that Photo.

Who in in red bib on pic 9 and I think same in pic 24. I see Kendall there but who is other one in red. Not Soph since she has short hair this year.

Who is in behind #22 Parker on pic 12. Is that Molly k?

Who is in goal. Hair color is like DeYoung but # could be 0 or 00 but I can't make that out either.

Is Frisbee in any pics?

Kendall is the lighter blonde in #9 , and Elli is closer to the camera. The keeper in the back is Rob Baarts. That's also Elli in #24. She's also in a couple more shots, like #14. Kendall is also getting interviewed at the end and is in #18.

I think the black pony tail standing is Sarah Bridges, but I'm not positive. <edit> Amanda Frisbie.

The one getting interviewed in #'s 26-28 is Micaela Capelle.

I think the player behind Ellen is Molly. The player in red to the left is Sophie. The old guy behind them all playing Left Out is a team evaluator on special assignment.

The only keeper who played that day was Erin Dees, if you don't count Baarts. I wouldn't pin my hopes on him anyway.

Amanda didn't play, so she's not in any pics except possibly in the ones with Garrett talking to the team, but I don't recognize her anywhere.

Are these practices open to public? If so, does anyone know this week's practice schedule?

Well, they are right in the middle of campus, it's hard to close them. There are often fans watching.

I'm not sure the times this week. I think the men started their practices, so they will share the fields and swap the start times day to day.

Amanda was hidden in plain sight, I'm told.

That's her with the Braided pony tail in Picture #2

I hope we get a better view when they put the team pictures up..
