Local Grads in the MLS


Two Penn Quakers logged some time in their respective MLS opening games on Thursday night. Danny Cepero is the starting goalkeeper for the NY Red Bulls. Alex Grendi is a midfielder for the defending champs Columbus Crew.

Fun Fact #1:

Danny Cepero became the first goalkeeper in MLS history to score a goal when he netted an 81-yard free kick last season against the Columbus Crew...in his MLS debut.

Fun Fact #2:

Cepero found his way into that starting lineup because the Red Bulls' starting keeper and Delaware County native Jon Conway was handed the first ever MLS suspension for performance-enhancing drugs.
