Cristian Roldan's progress a shining spot in Sounders' season

TUKWILA, Wash. – If Seattle Sounders second-year midfielder Cristian Roldan had been picked where most of the pundits and analysts thought he would be in the 2015 MLS SuperDraft, his life would be very different, to put it mildly.

Roldan was one of the most highly rated prospects in last year’s SuperDraft after starring for two seasons at the University of Washington. Few thought he would make it past the top 10 picks.

As it turned out, however, he wouldn’t have to leave Seattle after all. Roldan would unexpectedly fall all the way to No.
