It all ended with a trophy raise. After four years at UNC-Wilmington, senior and captain Phillip Goodrum finally brought home the regular season conference championship.
Although it was the culmination of his time in college, it is only the beginning of Goodrum’s soccer career. Goodrum was selected 75th overall in the 2020 MLS Superdraft by Atlanta United before signing his contract with Atlanta United 2.
“I knew Atlanta was interested, and I knew I was going to sign with Atlanta 2 when it happened. It was my first choice of where I wanted to be,” Goodrum said with a smile in his voice.
