SAN BRUNO, Calif. --- Portland junior forward Taryn Ries was selected to the 2019 All-West Coast Conference Preseason Team and the Pilots were picked to finish fourth in the annual poll of the league's 10 head coaches. Last year Ries led the Pilots with 15 goals, and she earned all-conference first-team and all-region honors.
A native of Ridgefield, Wash., Ries ranked seventh nationally in both goals and game-winners (6) in 2018, and she led the conference with 33 points. Ries' 15 goals were the most scored by a Pilot in a season since 2009, and she also notched a pair of hat tricks.
