The San Joe Earthquakes acquired $150,000 in General Allocation Money by trading their first-round pick in the MLS SuperDraft to the Houston Dynamo, who used the 11th overall pick to select University of Portland forward Joe Highfield.
All-American defender Jack Jasinski of Princeton was the Earthquakes’ second-round pick. The 22-year-old Jasinski had four goals and 22 assists over 68 matches during his four-year Princeton career.
“We feel good about the SuperDraft,” said Earthquakes coach Bruce Arena. “We were able to acquire some allocation money and fill a void in our backline. The selection of Jack Jasinski in the second round gives us depth in our outside back position and we believe he will be a good fit in our team.”
D.C. United made North Carolina State defender Nikola Markovic the No. 1 overall selection of the MLS SuperDraft.
The Wolfpack lost 3-2 in overtime to Washington in the College Cup men’s national championship last weekend.
Markovic, a 6-foot-4 native of Quebec, helped the Wolfpack lead the nation with 15 shutouts; they yielded just 13 goals all season.
FC Dallas, with the second and third overall picks after trades with Atlanta United and CF Montreal, took Georgia Southern forward Ricky Louis at No. 2 and Virginia forward Nicholas Simmonds at No. 3.
UC Davis defender Zack Lillington, from San Anselmo’s Archie Williams High, was the 10th overall pick by St. Louis City.
