WILDCAT SPOTLIGHT
HARD WORK PAYS Believing ‘how you do one thing is how you do everything,’ Linfield’s tireless defender Patrick Moes is elevating his work ethic and his performance on the pitch to new levels by riley omonaka ’24
P
atrick Moes, a member of the Linfield University men’s soccer team, knows a thing or two about demanding work. He understands what a real commitment and work ethic look like. Hailing from Boise, Idaho, Moes is an example for teammates and peers alike on how to succeed through one’s own merit. While at Linfield, Moes has worked in Facilities Services where he is highly regarded by coworkers and advisors as an industrious worker. He spends his working hours cleaning and maintaining the campus for the health and safety of students and staff. His reliable nature and steadiness of character show up in most aspects of his life. In school and soccer Moes is the kind of guy everyone wants in their corner. Moes has been a consistent rock for the team since arriving on campus in the fall of 2020. During his first season of regular conference play, Moes started 16 matches as a defender. Playing 1,506 minutes on the field over the course of the season, Moes managed to put only one shot on frame. This year, however, in just 11 matches, Moes has scored two goals and assisted on another tally. This huge upswing in offensive production is a testament to how hard Moes has stepped up his game since last season and his growing commitment to the program. “I’ve learned how important it is to work hard in every aspect of my life,” he says, “because how you do one thing is how you do everything.” Moes may have grown quite a bit over the last two years, but part of his work ethic has been ingrained in him at birth by his family. The only child of Cin-dy and Andy Moes, he has a close relationship with his parents. Moes considers them his biggest role models and No. 1 supporters. “Both of my parents have been my role models my entire life. I would not be where I am today without my parents,” Moes says. His mother and father no doubt inspired the work ethic

that Moes is admired for by teammates and friends, and as a result he has emerged as a defensive rock and opportunistic goal scorer. As dependable as he is on the soccer pitch, Moes is known to be an even more dependable friend. “I’ve only known ‘Paddy’ for two years at Linfield, but in that short time he has become one of my closest friends,” says Brady Anderson, a junior midfielder. “He’s someone I can always count on to be there for me.” Moes is a fun-loving friend to have around. Never one to shy away from a challenge, he makes competition and friendship work in unison. Just last year, Moes and Anderson purchased golf memberships together. Whether by luck or an act by the golfing gods, Moes landed a hole-inone on a Par 3 hole from 170 yards. “The excitement from us was unrivaled. The craziest part was that he had called the shot beforehand,” Anderson says. Whether on the green or the pitch, Moes has a relentless focus about him. He is a competitor through and through. Moes is the type of teammate and friend who will always inspire. In the classroom, Moes is immersed in his coursework while exploring different directions his future career might take. An economics major, Moes enjoys the faculty in his department. He says that learning from Linfield’s “exceptional” professors make his education more pleasant. In the future, Moes wants to be an economist, but he is not sure exactly where he wants to make an impact. His favorite class thus far has been environmental economics. In the classroom and in life, Moes strives to better himself. He continues to improve his study habits and aims for growth above perfection. “I really enjoy what I am studying,” he says. “I think that being an economist some day would be super fun. My academic career at Linfield has definitely helped me grow as a person.” The life of a student-athlete is never without its trials. Moes’ schedule demands balance and tremendous effort. But he possesses limitless effort and continues to expand his base of knowledge. Setting himself up for success requires introspection and honesty, both skills that Moes continues to employ. His growth mindset and commitment to self-improvement make Patrick Moes a dynamic individual. He inspires others and continues to build up those around him.
SOCCER AND LACROSSE COMPLEX
THE DREAM OF A MODERN soccer and lacrosse facility at Linfield University has become reality at last. Linfield director of athletics Garry Killgore spearheaded a vision for a $1.55 million project to revamp the current soccer and lacrosse facility. Completion of the project’s first phase was completed in December 2020. Phase 2 will 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 custom-branded storage containers are being furnished by Boxwell co-founder Rod Bolls, a former Wildcats soccer player.

RECENT HONORS The NWC honors football standouts Joel Valadez and Blaze Holoni for their contributions in a 35-17 road win The trip to the Whitworth Pine Bowl is always a tough test for any NWC football team, but Linfield took care of business in a 35-17 win over the Pirates last Saturday to stay unbeaten. Following a hard-fought game against a program that has always been competitive in recent memory, the Wildcats cashed in two more weekly honors from the NWC, announced joel valadez Monday.

LINFIELD IN THE NEWS Linfield rated as the top-rated liberal arts school in Oregon Linfield University is the No. 1 liberal arts college or university in Oregon, according to Washington Monthly’s 2022 College Guide and Rankings. And for the fourth consecutive year, U.S. News & World Report magazine has named Linfield University one of the best liberal arts colleges in the nation when it comes to social mobility. In U.S. News & World Report’s 2023 rankings, Linfield was named the top liberal arts college in Oregon and No. 57 in the nation on the “Top Performers in Social Mobility” list. The social mobility category measures how well universities graduate students who received federal Pell Grants. Students receiving these grants typically come from households whose family incomes are less than $50,000 annually, with most money going to students with total family incomes below $20,000. Of Linfield’s 1,762 undergraduate students last year, 480 individuals (27%) were Pell Grant eligible. Linfield was also the highest ranked institution in Oregon on the “Campus Ethnic Diversity among National Liberal Arts Colleges” list and was recognized for the second consecutive year among the publication’s list of “Best Undergraduate Nursing Programs.” U.S. News & World Report isn’t the only national publication recognizing Linfield’s commitment to improving the lives of students. Recently, Washington Monthly released its 2022 rankings, naming Linfield the No. 1 liberal arts college in Oregon and among the Best Bang for your Buck in the West. Linfield skyrocketed into the top 100 top liberal arts colleges in the country – coming in at No. 66 – after being ranked 112th in 2021. Washington Monthly ranks four-year schools based on their contribution to the public good in three broad categories: social mobility, research and providing opportunities for public service. The full rankings can be found at washingtonmonthly.com/2022-college-guide.

OREGON SPORTS HALL OF FAME Linfield graduate Terry Durham, who officiated in the NBA for 24 seasons, earns the state’s highest sports honor Linfield University graduate Terry Durham, who started to officiate basketball while in middle school but is better known for his 24-year career working games in the National Basketball Association, headlined the 2022 class of the Oregon Sports Hall of Fame that was inducted Sunday, Oct. 9, at Portland’s Providence Park. A 1968 Linfield graduate, Durham joined coaches Dennis Erickson and Dave Gasser, basketball players Fred Jones and Felicia Ragland, master’s athlete Becky Sisley and hockey standout Connie Madigan in this year’s Oregon Sports Hall of Fame class. While he was a student at McMinnville High School, Durham stood next to his father, head football coach, Paul Durham, on the Linfield sidelines and took notes during games. When he entered Linfield and was a member of the Wildcats football team, he again stood on the sidelines, not playing quarterback much as a freshman and sophomore. Durham went on to become a two-time all-Northwest Conference quarterback. He was one of the leaders of the 1965 Linfield team, which won conference and went on to the NAIA national semifinals where the Wildcats knocked off Sul Ross State,
30-27, in Alpine, Texas. He played basketball as a freshman, then participated only in college intramurals until Coach Ted Wilson called. When Wilson kicked players off the 1966-67 Linfield basketball team, Terry became a starting guard. Linfield tied for the conference title, beat Western Oregon in the NAIA district playoffs and went to Kansas City, losing by a point in the opening round to the eventual national champion. His first coaching experience was in football at Linfield in 1969 under Coach Ad Rutschman, while he earned a master’s of education degree. Later, he coached football at Sunset and Klamath Union high schools, and was a football graduate assistant at Stanford University. He officiated junior high school, Linfield intramurals, high school, small and major college basketball games, then working eight NBA summer camps before being hired fulltime by the association. Durham previously was inducted into the Linfield Athletics Hall of Fame in 2000 and the McMinnville High School Hall of Fame in 2011.
