Schmidt breakaway, Winters on the assist. 3-0.

Schmidt gets goal #2, Reed with the assist. 4-0 Pilots.

Enyeart goal, 5-0 Pilots

It's all over, Pilots advance to play Colorado on Sunday. GOOOOOO PILOTS!!!

WooHoo!!! Way to go Pilots!

Complete dominance. Denver did have a couple close calls on our goal. However, with a few breaks, we could have scored ten.

Michelle Enyeart apparently ran circles around the Pioneer defense. Linnman said she was the fastest player on the pitch. How about "Rocket Woman"?

Some telling stats from the game:

Shots: UP 29, UD 6.
Shots on Goal: UP 13, UD 2.
Saves: UP 2, UD 8.
Attendance 841 (about 4,000+ fewer than if at Merlo)

If attendance for the UC-Hawai'i game was the same, the NCAA lost more than $28,000 today. Remember, the reserved seats at Merlo cost more. I think I paid $12 last time.

841 in attendance. how sad is that? an im sure, judging from the buff's website that a good majority of those in attendance were from denver. i went to the ucbuff's website for attendance an thier 2 largest attendances were when the buff's had their home tourney which included denver. u take those 2 games out of the equation, the buff's avg'd less then 900 in attendance.
obviuosly i am a homer, but can anyone please tell me how the ncaa 'saves' money by only flying one team into a region that will draw hopefully 1500 people for 2 games as oppossed to 10,000 people for 2 games?

This topic has been discussed in detail in other threads in this forum...

you are right nut, im just still banging my head against something hard!!

Not to bang heads against the wall too much, but a quote from the coach on being told after the game that it was a horrible rainy day in Portland: "We should be playing in Portland. ... We should be playing in Portland."

Direct and correct.

Weather: Irrelevant.

We scream louder in rain gear!

There's about 800 of us in this pic, right? Give or take? So, why are our 800 fans at Merlo so much more photogenic? Our stands are just so full of beautiful people, huh?

OH YAH!!! GO PILOTS!!! COME HOME VICTORIOUS!! WE MISS YOU!!

That you in the 6th row?

I don't know about that, but if you look with your magnifying glass real close at the middle section about eight rows up, you can see me face down on the bench!

Soooooo...THAT WAS YOU FANatic???

No worries my friend....everyone in the section decided to let you sleep it off! We all understand how intoxicating Pilot Soccer can be!

One suggestion though...Pilot Fan to Pilot Fan...next time you celebrate too heavily and get skunk drunk with the play at Merlo...please be sure to crash face up....instead of face down...you SCARED the kids!!

GO PILOTS

FANatic--

did you ever find your pants?

Phantom, I'm sorry I scared your kids. But I always crash face down outside. Cause I don't want to wake up with bird stuff on my face. Been there, done that.

And you, Geezer. Isn't there an age limit on this site? You should be in bed by now, anyway. And no, I never found my pants. I mean, how do I go about finding them when I don't even recall losing them?
