Tacoma Defiance’s 19-year-old goalkeeper has been around, just not that long in goal

Don’t put him in goal.

Those were Dave Muse’s instructions to youth soccer coaches about his son, Trey. Dave had played goalie in college at Kentucky back in the 1990s and he wanted his son, who had been kicking a soccer ball before he was in kindergarten, to play the field, develop his footwork and learn the game.

Only after Trey had learned to play defense, in the midfield and as a forward would he be allowed to play in goal. Then and only then.

When Trey was 12, he came home and found a large box.
