Orlando City had a difficult experience this weekend in San Jose, with a 3-0 loss to the San Jose Earthquakes. San Jose striker and captain Chris Wondolowski netted a brace in the game. In the defeat, the Lions saw something that they will hopefully find one day — a truly local sports hero to lead the club.
Wondolowski was born and raised in the local Bay Area. After graduating from De La Salle High School in Concord, CA, he enrolled at Chico State. During his senior year, the striker played for the Chico Rooks of the National Premier Soccer League.
