SOCCER AND LACROSSE COMPLEX
THE DREAM OF A MODERN soccer and lacrosse facility at Linfield University has become reality at last.
The first phase of a $1.55 million project to revamp the current soccer and lacrosse facility was completed in December 2020. Phase 2 is planed to get underway once funding is secured.
The vision for substantially upgrading the Linfield Soccer and Lacrosse Complex has been discussed for many years. With the help of private funding from a cross-section of donors, the project is proceding in two phases.
In Phase 1 of the project, the natural grass field was converted to
FieldTurfTM, providing Linfield teams an ideal year-round practice and playing surface while substantially reducing maintenance and game setup costs. The field was draped with branded mesh screening, providing for a more intimate and enclosed setting. Six enclosed storage spaces to house team equipment and supplies are included in Phase 1.
Phase 2 calls for a new seating for 250 spectators as well as an adjoining paved plaza. It includes construction of a new pressbox on the west side of the field. Phase 2 could begin as early as 2021.
Dressing rooms for the women’s lacrosse and men’s and women’s soccer and teams are included as part of a multi-purpose structure planned for the stadium’s northwest corner. The new building will also contain a dressing room for visiting teams and game officials, restrooms and a concession stand.
Under the leadership of Linfield alumnus Rob Gloeckner of Tarkett Sports, the grass field was converted to a FieldTurfTM surface. The custombranded storage containers are being furnished by Boxwell co-founder Rod Bolls, a former Wildcats soccer player.

PROUD PARTNER OF LINFIELD ATHLETICS
WOMEN’S COACH STEVE SIMMONS
Steve Simmons is in the seventh year of his second tenure as Linfield women’s soccer coach. Simmons’ resumé sports 15 years of Division I coaching experience at Oregon State and Northern Illinois, in addition to serving five years as head coach of the Linfield men’s and women’s soccer and women’s lacrosse programs from 1996 until 2000.
Simmons, who owns a career record of 202-181-44 in 22 seasons as a collegiate head coach.
During his first tenure at Linfield, he took over a men’s team that went 1-15-0 in 1995 and led the Wildcats to three seasons of double-digit wins, including a 21-1-1 mark in 2000. That team knocked off top-ranked Ohio Wesleyan in the NCAA Division III quarterfinals losing in the NCAA Division III semifinals to eventual national champion Messiah College. On the women’s side, the Wildcats rose from ninth place to fourth place in his final season as coach.
Most recently, Simmons spent nine years as head coach of the Oregon State men’s soccer program. During his OSU tenure, the Beavers produced three MLS
SuperDraft first round picks.
Prior to Oregon State, Simmons went 59-47-3 in six seasons as head coach at Northern Illinois.
He began his coaching career as an assistant at his alma mater, Concordia University-Portland, in 1990 before heading to Gonzaga University in 1994 as an assistant coach. A head coaching position followed the next season at Division III Whitworth University. Simmons led Whitworth to a 9-8-2 record in his first season to earn Northwest Conference Coach of the Year honors before moving on to Linfield.
As a collegian at Concordia, Simmons netted first-team All-America honors from the National Christian College Athletic Association and NAIA Academic All-America recognition as a senior. He was a two-time NAIA Northwest All-Region selection and was honored with Concordia’s Male Athlete of the Year Award in 1990 and was selected to the school’s Athletics Wall of Fame in 1993.
A graduate of Chugiak High School in Eagle River, Alaska, Simmons

THE RECORDS
Linfield opens up the weekend homestand remaining undefeated at 4-0-2 and 2-0 in Northwest Conference play. The ‘Cats earned a pair of road wins two weeks ago, taking down Pacific 3-0, and Willamette 4-1. Whitworth begins the week with a winless 0-2-3 overall record and 0-1-1 against NWC teams.
LINFIELD AT A GLANCE
The offense is led by senior Lize Rendon, who’s second in the conference with four goals, behind only Bailey Bell from Whitman. Rendon has been a leader off of the bench early in the season, earning a solid role in the starting lineup. Mia Curtaz and Amalia Tufts have successfully fed the ball to the scorers, as each are tied atop the conference in assists with three each. Alexa Fritz holds down the goalkeeping duties, leading the conference with three shutouts in six games played.
WHITWORTH AT A GLANCE
Whitworth’s goals have come from Addison Dizard, Rebekah Hines, and Sylvie Washington, each leading the team with one goal a-piece. The defense has been a bright spot for the Pirates, allowing more than a goal in just one match this season.
SERIES HISTORY
Today’s matchup markes the 60th all-time meeting between the two clubs. The Pirates lead the all-time series 37-19-3, though the Wildcats have secured 1-0 and 2-1 victories in each of the last two outings in McMinnville.

RECENT HONORS
Women’s soccer midfielder Lize Rendon is off to a strong start
Twice in recent weeks, Linfield women’s soccer midfielder Lize Rendon has earned the Northwest Conference’s Offensive Player of the Week honors.
Rendon played a key role two weeks ago in wins over Pacific and Willamette. Thanks to two scores in 36 minutes played in a 3-1 win over Pacific on Friday, the midfielder worked her way into a starting role on the roster. She leads the undefeated Wildcats in scoring through six games, and also ranks in second in the NWC in goals scored (4) and total points (9).
The Portland native is averaging 37.5 minutes of action per contest. She owns a perfect 1.000 shot-on-goal percentage, as her four shots on the season have all resulted in scores, including the match-winning goal at Pacific.

LINFIELD’S WILDCAT
First called “Wildcats” in 1924, Linfield teams have always been known for their scrapiness
It has been a just over a century since Linfield athletic teams were first called “Wildcats.”
According to historical accounts, as competitive athletics grew in popularity and prominence during the 1920s, the student body voted in 1924 that the athletic mascot would be known as a “Wildcat” because Linfield was “a small school with a lot of fight and scratch.”
Before the 1924 vote, spectators at Linfield sports events cheered for the “Baptists,” owing to the school’s early heritage, or the “Cardinal and Purple,” a reference to the school colors.
The current Linfield athletic logo, showing a scowling Wildcat wearing a jauntily cocked sailor’s cap, first became a visual fixture on the sides of the football team’s helmets in 1963 under Hall of Fame coach Paul Durham.

Regarded as one of the most influential coaches in school history, Durham directed the Wildcats from 1948 to 1967. In 20 seasons, Durham rolled up a career record of 122-51-10 while leading Linfield to seven conference titles and two appearances in the NAIA championship game.
Though that version of the Wildcat logo underwent only minor cosmetic changes over the next six decades, the basic logo from the 1960s remains the recognizable symbol of all Linfield varsity athletic teams today and by extension, it has come to represent many periphery segments of campus life, too.
Linfield teams also sport one of the most unique color schemes in all of college athletics. The college adopted the current colors of Cardinal (Red) and Purple in 1917.
ATHLETICS HALL OF FAME
The Linfield Athletics Hall of Fame prepares to induct four new members this fall, including three remarkable athletes and a jack-of-all-trades contributor
Three record-setting athletes, plus a one-of-a-kind contributor, have been chosen for induction into the Linfield Athletics Hall of Fame this fall. They comprise the 27th class of Hall of Fame inductees and are to be enshrined on Saturday, November 14, inside Linfield’s Nicholson Library. Pacific Office Automation again is serving as title sponsor, which preceeds the November 15 Linfield-Willamette football game.
Here’s a quick glance at each of the 2025 selections:
Amanda (Attleberger) Strahm ’08, softball: A four-time first-team all-Northwest Conference honoree, Amanda was a member of four straight NWC title teams and NCAA Division III playoff teams, including two that advanced to the national finals. She was a key contributor on Linfield’s 2007 NCAA championship club, and holds 12 top-10 career records and owns six top-10 single-season marks.
Aaron Boehme ’10, football: A two-time NWC Offensive Player of the Year, D3football.com All-American and Linfield
Most Valuable Player, Aaron quarterbacked Linfield to a pair of conference titles and piloted the ’Cats to the national semifinals in 2009. He ranks fourth all-time in single-season offensive years and sixth in career passing TDs. Aaron spent 12 years as a member of the Linfield football coaching staff.
Kevin Schjei ’02, baseball: A three-year letter winner, Kevin continues to hold the career record for highest batting average of .446 more than 20 years after his graduation. As a senior in 2002, his 74 hits established a new Linfield singleseason record, the same season he received second team ABCA All-America recognition. Kevin twice earned first team all-NWC honors at third base.
Billy Maxwell, Class of 1924, meritorious service: A man who did a little bit of everything in support of Linfield Athletics, Billy will be honored posthumously. He ran scoreboards during home games for more than 50 years, helped raise funds to aid Wildcat teams, drove team and fan buses, and was a fixture at most all Linfield athletic events.
Inductees are chosen from a list of submitted nominations and voted upon by the Hall of Fame Executive and Selection Committees. The 18-member panel is made up of current and former staff members, past inductees, a member of the media, and a former athlete representing each of the preceding six decades.

We anticipate increased quality of our streams conferencewide, as well as programming allowing viewers to watch college sports not just from within our conference, but from all across the country.
