COLLEGE PARK, Md. – Two Terps get set for Wednesday's MLS All-Star game while two more are nominated for USL Goal of the Week. That and more in this week's #ProTerps Report
All-Stars in the ATL
Former Terps stars Zack Steffen and Graham Zusi in Hot-Lanta for Wednesday's MLS All-Star game (7:30 p.m., ESPN). The best of MLS will take on Juventus, the most decorated club in Italy with more Serie A and Coppa Italia titles than any other outfit. The Bianconeri will be without the newly signed Cristiano Ronaldo, but will feature German international Sami Khedira, Italy international Claudio Marchisio and club captain Georgio Chiellini.
Zusi, who is making his sixth all-star appearance, was voted into the match as a member of MLS Fan XI. An all-star debutant, Steffen was selected to the roster by Atlanta United and all-star manager Tata Martino. Maryland has had a player feature in eight of the last nine MLS All-Star games.
Mullins Strikes for Columbus
While Mr. Steffen was out doing his normal acrobatics between the sticks, the Crew's newest man and former Terp all everything Patrick Mullins notched his first goal with the club in a win over New York Red Bulls. It was a classic tidy finish from Mullins, who went from DC United to Columbus in a deal on July 11.
Columbus, which also features Alex Crognale, currently sits fourth in the Eastern Conference standings and will look to its three former Terps for quality as it attempts to make a playoff push.
Vote Williamson! Vote Francois!
We love our guys, so no picks being made here, but both Eryk Williamson and Christiano Francois were nominated for USL Goal of the Week after a pair of nice tallies over the weekend.
Williamson started the goal bound move before making a hard run to the penalty area and getting on the of a pretty Jeremy Ebobisse back heel. The Alexandria, Va., native then calmly slotted the ball to the far post and in. That feed from Ebobisse really was nice and we'll briefly forgive him for being a Duke Blue Devil. The Portland Timbers II tally was featured on that night's SportsCenter Top-10 plays, somewhere we've seen EW before (sorry not sorry Badgers).
Francois did the job himself for the Pittsburgh Riverhounds. He received the ball on the right side and made an incisive run into the box before depositing the ball into the back of the net with the outside of his right foot. It was a supreme individual effort from Francois, who scored a goal of a similar variety a few weeks ago.
