Portland Timbers assistant coach Cameron Knowles was inducted into the University of Akron Hall of Fame on Saturday.
A four-year starter and four-time All-Mid-America Conference selection, the Auckland, New Zealand native appeared in 75 games for the Zips helping them to three MAC Tournament Championships. The defender was also a three-time All-MAC Tournament team pick, a three-time MAC Honor Roll selection and two-time Academic All-MAC honoree. Selected by Real Salt Lake in the 2005 Supplemental Draft, Knowles played two seasons in MLS before becoming a stalwart on the Portland Timbers USL backline. With Portland, Knowles played 77 matches before joining the coaching ranks as an assistant to the MLS Timbers in 2012.
