CORVALLIS – Oregon State standout goalkeeper Bella Geist will head just up the road to play her professional soccer, as the Milwaukie, Ore. native was selected by the Portland Thorns with the 29th overall pick in the NWSL Draft on Thursday morning.
Geist will go down as one of the best goalies in Pac-12 history, having set Oregon State's career record with 394 saves, a mark that is also good for third in Pac-12 history. The net-minder played in 72 games over the course of her four year career, holding a total on 18 clean sheets over that span.
