There are only two remaining players from Orlando City’s inaugural MLS roster — midfielder Cristian Higuita and goalkeeper Earl Edwards, Jr. Edwards entered his fourth MLS season in 2018 with only one career league start under his belt — one he’d like to forget — in a 6-1 season-ending drubbing at the Philadelphia Union in October of 2017.
The six goals were mostly scored on plays Edwards could do little or nothing about, but that match had to leave a bad taste in the young goalkeeper’s mouth, being the only league action he’d seen for the senior team after starring for OCB.
