PORTLAND, Ore. --- Portland freshman Caua Soares scored his first career game-winner, sophomore Rey Ortiz collected his 12th assist, and senior goalkeeper Paul Christensen was solid between the pipes as the Pilots held off the Santa Clara Broncos 1-0 in a West Coast Conference men's soccer game played on Friday night at Merlo Field. It's the fifth shutout on the year for Christensen and the Pilots, who did well to deny the Broncos during the game's final minutes.
Soares' goal came 29 seconds into the second half and it was set up by Ortiz, who had possession right of the 18-yard box.
