After a successful season at home, four University of Wisconsin men’s soccer players will be heading to MLS this spring.
UW seniors Chris Mueller, Mark Segbers, Tom Barlow and Mike Catalano will all represent Wisconsin in the MLS after being selected in the MLS SuperDraft Jan. 19th in Philadelphia.
Mueller and Segbers were the two highest selections, going sixth and ninth respectively in the first round. This is the only time in Wisconsin program history that two players received a selection in the top 10 of the MLS draft.
Mueller, a senior from Schaumburg, Illinois, dominated the collegiate game this year, leading the nation in assists, 2o, and the Big Ten in shots on goal, 30, and points, 38, to earn All-Big Ten first team and Big Ten offensive player of the year honors.
