Duke Blue might not be represented on the field Sunday when the Seattle Sounders and Toronto FC meet in the MLS Cup Sunday, but there will definitely a Blue Devil influence to both squads as they vie for a second Major League Soccer title each. It is the third time in the past four seasons the two clubs will play for the right to lift the cup.
Former Blue Devil standouts Garth Lagerwey and Ali Curtis are the general managers for the clubs, with Lagerwey finishing up his fifth season with the Sounders and Curtis completing his first year on the job in Toronto.
