Under-20's US National Team coach Claudio Reyna has called in 36 players for seven days of training starting Monday, January 2nd in Fort Lauderdale. Ramos's squad features 14 professional players, drawing from Major League Soccer and the Scandinavian leagues currently on break. Roster GK: Jesus Guzman (Santos Laguna; Dallas, Texas), Daniel Medina Meza (UANL Tigres; El Paso, Texas), Tyler Miller (Northwestern; Woodbury, N.

Vancouver Whitecaps striker Omar Salgado and Real Salt Lake midfielder Luis Gil are among the 36 players called in by head coach Tab Ramos to the U.S. Under-20 national team camp in Fort Lauderdale this week.

Molde fullback Sean Cunningham, Liverpool signee Villyan Bijev, Nuremberg midfielder Tyrone McCargo and SC Freiburg midfielder Caleb Stanko were also among the pros called into the week-long camp in Florida.

A coaching change at FC Ingolstadt led to an early winter break for Edson Buddle, who was sent home until the new year. The U.S. national team striker isn't going to lay around doing nothing during the German winter break though. He has headed to London, where he will spend a week training with West Ham United.

Legendary coach Manny Schellscheidt has been a pioneer in American soccer for decades, and on Monday he retired from his long-time profession, stepping down as Seton Hall head coach after 24 years.

Schellscheidt spent nearly a quarter century in charge of the Pirates, but he had already established an impressive coaching resume even before that.

For the second straight week, the top teams in the nation suffered through some shocking upset defeats.

In its penultimate game of the regular season, top-ranked Maryland lost to Clemson, 2-1. The Terps had a man advantage for much of the match, but Clemson was able to exploit the makeshift back line Maryland used, scoring twice in the second half to win the game.

Richie Williams, who won three MLS titles as a player and coached the New York Red Bulls as an interim coach on two separate occasions, has been named the head coach of the U.S. under-18 national team, replacing Mike Matkovich.
Williams is the third coaching appointment to the U.S. youth national team program since Jurgen Klinsmann began his tenure as men's national team, but he has close ties to Klinsmann's two predecessors, Bruce Arena and Bob Bradley.

Another week, another new No. 1 team atop the Fox Soccer/SBI NCAA Top 25.

The University of Connecticut is the latest to claim the top spot after beating Boston College Tuesday night to improve to 7-0 on the season. That result, combined with previous No.

The University of Maryland's perfect start is a thing of the past.

Using a defense-first mentality, Seton Hall held the nation's No. 1 team (Fox Soccer/SBI) to a 0-0 draw in New Jersey Tuesday night.

Maryland outshot Seton Hall 23-6 and had a 13-0 edge in corner kicks, but the Terrapins (7-0-1) couldn't break through and were held to less than two goals for the first time all season.

A loaded slate of quality soccer action is headlined this week by a battle that should go a long way in determining just who has the best team on the West Coast.

UCSB, currently ranked No. 5 in the Fox Soccer/SBI Top 25 with a 4-0-1 record, takes on an 11th-ranked UCLA team that is beginning to bounce back from a dismal start to the year.

There's a new team at the top of the college soccer mountain yet again.

High-scoring Maryland is the new No. 1 team in the Fox Soccer/SBI NCAA Top 25 rankings after improving to 6-0 while former No. 1 North Carolina slipped up last weekend against Virginia Tech.

Former Georgetown University men's soccer coach Keith Tabatznik was inducted into the Virginia-DC Soccer Hall of Fame this past weekend. He is one of the first people associated with the Georgetown program to earn a spot in the Hall of Fame. Tabatznik was one of three people inducted for Meritorious Sevice and one of eight 2011 inductees.
