The championship match is scheduled for a 10 a.m. start and fans can follow live scoring at www.WCCSports.com and via Twitter by following @PortlandPilots.

Nut, ever since you wrote this after lamenting UP's baseball fortunes.....

.....I've been waiting for you to comment on the great play of the women's tennis team.

Although I've been to Wimbledon a couple of times, I know next to nothing about tennis except how to keep score.

Maybe we'll all learn something by getting up on a Saturday morning early enough to watch the final online.

A great showing by the women this year (the men earned the #5 seed, but lost in the opening round vs. #4 Pacific--no shame in that).

I understand how a "regular" tennis match is scored...  I don't really understand how team competitions like this are scored.  Does anyone have insight?  For example, the Pilots beat USF 4-0 (best out of 7?) but lost to Pepp earlier this season 0-7.    Do they not play all the rounds in tourney play?
