The Kitsap Pumas will not defend their title as PDL champs this season after a 2-1 playoff loss to the Portland Timbers U23s at Gladstone High School in Gladstone, Oregon reports goalWA.net. The Pumas ended their season at 10-5-2

Saint Martin’s alum Zac Lubin won nine games for the Pumas this season and tied for second in the PDL with seven shutouts. Lubin, the keeper for the Saints’ GNAC conference championship team in 2009, finished his second season with the Pumas. Last season he appeared in just two games backing up current Seattle Sounders FC keeper Bryan Meredith before taking over in goal this season.

Representing the PDL’s Northwest Division in the western regionals will be the Timbers U23s and the team that called Tumwater Stadium home for one game this season, the Sounders U23s. The Sounders will face FC Tucson on Saturday in Ventura, California while the host Ventura County Fusion will try to take down the Timbers.
