On behalf of President Johnson and the WPU senior leadership team, I am pleased to invite WPU students to gather during chapel time this Thursday, Dec. 8, at 10:30 a.m. in McGuire Auditorium, for a very special celebration for our incredible Men’s Soccer Team! As a full University community, we want to express our pride and honor our players for all the hard work, dedication, and most of all, HEART they have exhibited, both on and off the field.

Undeniably, 2022 was an incredible season for our Knights. Putting up one of the best records in school history, the WPU team was crowned Cascade Collegiate Conference champions for the second year in a row, winning both the regular season championship, as well as the conference tournament championship. Under this banner, Warner Pacific also received a bid for the NAIA Tournament for the second year in a row, where they would advance to the second round. Warner Pacific was ranked as one of the top 25 teams in the NAIA this season, reaching as high as 19^th in the poll. Andrew Martinez was named both Conference Newcomer of the Year and Offensive Player of the Year and Head Coach Troy Ready was named Coach of the Year for the third year in a row. You can read even more highlights from this historic season here.

Now, it’s time to celebrate with our players, coaches and athletics leaders, and to commemorate our shared success as a University. Please wear your WPU spirit gear, and be prepared to cheer loudly! Refreshments will be served, and all are welcome.

We are grateful to God for watching over all our student-athletes, and tremendously proud of our Knights. Looking forward to seeing you so we can collectively offer the Lord our thanks!

Blessings,
Jennifer
