CATEGORICAL WON-LOST-TIED HEAD COACH CALEB PORTEROne of the most successful coaches in NCAA history, Caleb Porter was named the Timbers head coach on Aug. 29, 2012, and joins the club following seven seasons as the head coach at the University of Akron from 2006-12. He finished his time at Akron with a career mark of 123-18-17 and owned the highest winning percentage (0.832) among all active Division I coaches. Porter has helped lead the Timbers to a positive result in 12 of the team’s first 13 matches of the 2013 MLS season, includ-ing a current club-record, 11-game unbeaten stretch. Porter has been named the MLSsoccer.com Coach of the Week twice this year (Week 6, Week 9).

Porter built Akron men’s soccer into a perennial national championship contender, leading the Zips to five consecutive trips to the NCAA tournament’s Round of 16 (2008-12), back-to-back NCAA College Cup appearances in 2009 and 2010, and the school’s first national title in any sport in 2010. In all, he guided Akron to seven Mid-American Conference (MAC) regular-season championships and five MAC Tourna-ment titles. Porter set multiple NCAA records at Akron, including a 48-match, home unbeaten streak (44-0-4) from 2008-11 and a 47-match unbeaten streak (44-0-3) in conference play from 2006-12.

From Kalamazoo, Mich., Porter garnered numerous honors while at Akron, including NSCAA National Coach of the Year in 2009. He was a three-time NSCAA All-Ohio Coach of the Year (2008-09, 2011) and received MAC Coach of the Year honors six straight years from 2007-12. Porter became the fastest coach in program history to reach 100 career wins, accomplishing the feat in just 126 matches. He is also among the fastest all-time in NCAA history to the century mark, reaching the milestone in fewer games than collegiate Hall of Fame and current MLS coaches Bruce Arena (140; Virginia) and Sigi Schmid (136; UCLA). While at Akron, Porter recruited and developed more than a dozen Zips players who have gone on to professional careers, many plying their trade in Major League Soccer. He had an MLS-record five former players selected in the first round of the 2011 MLS SuperDraft and seven selected overall that year. Under Porter’s guidance, Portland’s Darlington Nagbe and former Akron standout Teal Bunbury were recipients of the MAC Hermann Trophy, awarded to the nation’s top col-legiate player.

Porter also served as the head coach of the U.S. U-23 Men’s National Team during 2012 CONCACAF Olympic qualifying and spent three years as an assistant coach on the U.S. U-18 National Team from 2009-11. Prior to joining Akron, Porter was an assistant coach for six years (2000-05) at Indiana Univer-sity, helping the school make six NCAA tournament appearances, win back-to-back national champion-ships in 2003 and 2004 and claim five Big Ten Conference titles.

As a player, Porter was the 27th overall pick by the San Jose Clash in the 1998 MLS College Draft. He spent time with San Jose and the Tampa Bay Mutiny before a knee injury ended his playing career in 2000. Porter also played for the U.S. National B Team from 1996-97, winning a bronze medal at the 1997 World University Games.

He had a successful collegiate playing career at Indiana, where he was a three-year captain, a three-time All-Big Ten honoree and a four-year letter winner. Porter led the Hoosiers to four conference titles, four NCAA tournament appearances – twice advancing to the College Cup. As a senior, Porter captained IU to 23 consecutive wins before losing to eventual national champion UCLA in the national semifinals and was the runner-up for the 1997 Hermann Trophy.

Porter graduated from Indiana in 1998 with a degree in sports management. He and his wife, Andrea, have three children – two sons, Colin and Jake, and a daughter, Stella Jane.

Overall U.S. Open Cup record (24 games): 15-9

A 2-0 win on the road at D.C. United on May 25 extended the Timbers cur-rent undefeated run to an MLS club-record 11 games. Currently the longest unbeaten streak in MLS, Portland became the 26th team (and fifth since 2010) to compile a 10-game unbeaten streak in MLS history after a 2-2 draw against Vancouver Whitecaps FC on May 18. During the streak, Portland has earned a 5-0-6 record while scoring 18 goals and conceding nine. Along with the overall streak, the Timbers extended their road unbeaten stretch to seven consecutive games (eight including the final road game of the 2012 season).

SCOUTING THE HAMMERHEADSBased in Wilmington, N.C., the Hammerheads are currently in 11th place in the 13-team USL PRO league (the third division on the U.S. Soccer pyramid). Head coach David Irving’s squad has compiled a 2-7-0 (6pts) overall record in nine games during the 2013 season. Midfielder Paul Nicholson, a native of England, leads the Hammerheads with three goals this season. Nicholson, 26, is in his third season with the club. Scottish defender Tom Parratt leads the team with two assists. Irving has been in charge of the club since 1998 and helped guide the Hammerheads to the 2012 USL PRO championship game, where they suf-fered a 1-0 loss to the Charleston Battery. Wilimington, which went on hiatus for the 2010 season, finished in fifth place (10-7-7, 37pts) during the 2012 regular season.

TIMBERS HOST TWO SUMMER FRIENDLIES

The Timbers play host to Monarcas Morelia of Mexico’s Liga MX in the inaugural “Copa Verde” on Wednesday, July 3, at 8 p.m. (Pacific) at JELD-WEN Field. Monarcas recently concluded the 2013 Clausura tournament in Mexico, qualify-ing for the Liguilla playoffs. Portland hosts English Premier League side Norwich City on Wednesday, July 24, at 8 p.m. (Pacific) at JELD-WEN Field. The Canaries finished the 2012-13 season in 11th place (out of 20) with a 10-14-14 record.

The Timbers are tied for the league lead with 22 goals and rank among the top five in several statistical categories. Portland ranks second in shots on goal (67) and third in assists (23), while coming in fifth in shots (187). Midfielder Will Johnson is tied for third in the league with five goals and midfielder Diego Valeri is tied for second with four assists. Midfielder Diego Chara’s two game-winning assists rank second among league leaders.

SETTING NEW MARKSTimbers midfielder/forward Rodney Wallace set a new career high in goals with his fourth of the season on May 25 in a 2-0 win against D.C. United. Wallace, a Costa Rica international, has also set a career high in points (10) through 13 games. Midfielder Will Johnson tallied career highs in goals (5) and points (12) already this season, recording his fifth goal of the year on May 18 in a 2-2 draw against Vancouver Whitecaps FC.

SECOND-HALF THREATPortland has scored an MLS-high 17 goals in the second half of games this season, including a league-best seven goals during the first 15 minutes follow-ing the halftime break. On the defensive side, the Timbers have conceded only five goals in the final 45 minutes this season, which ranks just behind Sporting Kansas City (4) for the league’s best second-half defense.

A RESILIENT GROUPThrough 13 games, the Timbers are the only MLS club to earn a .500 or better record when conceding the first goal of a game. Portland has conceded the first goal in six of 13 matches, but the team has battled back to earn at least a point in five of those six games (1-1-4 record). Playing down a man, and trailing by one, forward Jose Valencia scored the equalizer in the 84th minute for a 2-2 draw against Vancouver on May 18. The Timbers trailed twice against Sporting KC on April 27 before earning a 3-2 win on the road. Portland has surmounted a pair of two-goal deficits this season (3-1 on March 3 vs. New York; 2-0 on March 30 at Colorado) to earn draws. No other team in the league has accomplished that feat so far this season.

U.S. OPEN CUP CHAMPIONSTimbers defender Michael Harrington was part of Sporting Kansas City’s U.S. Open Cup championship run in 2012, entering the final match in the 100th minute as Sporting KC defeated Seattle Sounders FC in penalty kicks. Defender/midfielder Jack Jewsbury won the 2004 U.S. Open Cup with the club, then called the Kansas City Wizards. Jewsbury started and played 68 minutes as Kansas City earned a 1-0 win over Chicago on a 95th-minute goal from Igor Simutenkov.

PACKED SCHEDULEWilmington, which has lost five of its last seven matches, is getting set to play its eighth game during the month of May. Wednesday’s match marks the fourth straight road game for the Hammerheads, who traveled to Austin on May 21 for a U.S. Open Cup match and made trips to Orlando (May 25) and Tampa (May 26) in league play. Wednesday’s match is Wilmington’s fourth game in the last nine days.

TIMBERS U-18 ACADEMYThe Timbers U-18s (10-11-6, 36pts) scored in second-half stoppage time to earn a 1-1 draw against the Earthquakes U-18s on Saturday, May 4. After going down a goal in the 80th minute, the Timbers U-18s earned a penalty kick in the final moments of the match, and midfielder James Nosack (Ridgefield, Wash.) converted from the spot – his 11th goal of the season – to help the home side earn a share of the points. On May 5, the Timbers U-18s overcame an early goal to record a 4-2 victory over Cal Odyssey.
