Concluding the 2018 NCAA Division I men's soccer season, he was part of the national championship-winning Maryland team. Individually, Pines was named to the All-Big Ten First Team, the Top Drawer Soccer Best XI, as well as the College Cup All-Tournament Team.

Professional

Concluding the 2018 NCAA soccer season, Pines was linked to several European clubs, but ultimately signed a homegrown contract with D.C. United on January 18, 2019.[7]

Ahead of the 2019 USL Championship season, Pines went on a season-long loan to D.C. United's reserve side, Loudoun United FC. Pines made his professional soccer debut on March 9, 2019, for Loudoun United in a 0–2 loss to Nashville SC. Pines played the entire match.[8]

He played the full 90 minutes and recorded an assist to Luciano Acosta in a 3–2 win over the Rapids.[9] On April 28, 2019, in a game against Minnesota United, Pines scored what would've been his first goal for D.C. United but it was disallowed by VAR due to a foul during the play.[10] In early May, Pines sprained a ligament in his knee after a 3–1 win against the Columbus Crew.[11] He returned from his injury on June 26, 2019.[12]

Pines scored his first MLS goal in a 2–2 draw against the Philadelphia Union on October 14, 2020.[13] He scored his second goal for United just four days later in a 2–1 win over FC Cincinnati.[14]
