The University of Portland Athletic Department and the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) held the fourth annual Wally's on Sunday night at the Beauchamp Recreation and Wellness Center on the UP Campus. The Wally's are an awards banquet honoring student-athletes, teams and athletics staff for their accomplishments.
