So far this 2016 NCAA Men's Soccer season, several Timbers Academy players have put their stamps on their teams' performances.
Close to home, Oregon State University's Eric Diaz-Gutierrez has begun his freshman campaign with aplomb, appearing in 16 matches this season (starting 10), in which time he's accumulated over 1000 minutes of game experience and tallied five assists. Diaz-Gutierrez has started each of the Beavers' last four matches, assisting twice in a recent 3-2 victory over San Diego State University.
The Beavers will finish their season on Thursday at the University of Washington, where Diaz-Gutierrez and his teammates – whose number includes Timbers Academy alumni Davis Chimento, Alejandro Sergovia, and Jesse Garcia-Aguilar – will try to earn their way into this year's NCAA playoffs.
