THE RECORDS The Wildcats started the season 0-2-0, but have improved to 2-2-0, splitting the season series against the George Fox Bruins and the Pacific Boxers. The Bearcats are a perfect 3-0-0. THE WILDCATS AT A GLANCE Linfield defeated George Fox last week on a match-winner by Seamus Miller in double overtime on Sunday. It was the first career goal for the freshman from Tacoma, Washington. The Wildcats lead the conference with 13.3 shots per match. THE BEARCATS AT A GLANCE Willamette scored nine goals in two matches against Pacific and one against George Fox. The Bearcats have allowed only one goal this spring. This week’s meeting is between the top teams in shots per match in the conference. Willamette is second with an average of 12.7. Ryan Sato has scored six goals, which is fifth in the NWC. He has 18 total points, which is tied for fourth. Like the Willamette women, the men have alternated goalkeepers. Anthony Richard-Bassett has saved four shots. Pierluca Carnovale does not have a save. THE SERIES In the final match of the 2019 season, the Wildcats and the Bearcats played to a scoreless draw in front of a packed house in McMinnville. Willamette won the meeting in Salem by a score of 2-1. Linfield leads the all-time series, 27-22-2.

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 plans for a $1.55 million project to revamp the current soccer and lacrosse facility. Completion of the project’s first phase was completed in late December. Phase 2 will get underway once funding is secured. “This project is absolutely critical, not only for the success of our student-athletes in men’s and women’s soccer and women’s lacrosse, but it’s equally as important for students who participate in intramurals as well as members of the community,” said Killgore. “Having a second turf field really opens up so much flexibility in scheduling for all our athletic teams.” 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 will be 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, permanent 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. The upgraded soccer/lacrosse facility serves a variety of uses. In addition to hosting Linfield soccer and lacrosse practices and matches, the new facility provides recreational space for all Linfield students and will serve as a centerpiece for the summertime Olympic Development Program as well as community events. “The whole soccer/lacrosse fundraising campaign really exemplifies what we mean by ‘All In,’” said Killgore. “People who are not necessarily affiliated with soccer or lacrosse stepped up as important contributors to this project. Each of them understood how important this project is and how much it will benefit all Linfield students.” Contributions continue to be sought to complete funding of Phase 1. Once that goal is met, donations for the project’s second phase will begin to be accepted.
