We are thrilled that Richard Edgar has decided to continue his academic and athletic career at George Mason. Richard is an outstanding person with impeccable credentials as both a person and a student athlete.

He is here and trained. He is just waiting for his visa, which usually takes from one to two weeks. Hopefully, he will be ready for next weekend. He is a versatile guy. I think it is important to add a veteran of the league.

Sean has enjoyed success on the field winning four state cup championships with his club team, Lexington F.C. and winning a championship with Dunbar High School. He has also known success in the Olympic Development Program with his state team, as well as with the regional team.

He's clearly a very special, gifted player.

The difference this year is we're not giving away points. This team is special. We're such a good defensive team, we know we have a chance to get a result whether we're home or away.

In Manny we are getting a player who has won a couple of MLS championships in San Jose and who is a solid, proven professional.
