Dynamo Game With U.S. U-17s Cancelled

Due to unforeseen circumstances the Carolina Dynamo Exhibition Match vs. The U.S. Soccer U-17 Men’s National Team has been canceled. Anyone who has purchased tickets for the event will either have the opportunity to trade in tickets for any other 2011 Carolina Dynamo game or will be issued a full refund.

“Certainly we are disappointed to hear of the U-17 MNT trip to NC has been canceled at least for the time being, that certainly doesn’t mean the opportunity wont arise again in the future,” said Dynamo GM Scott Zapko.

The Dynamo will open the 2011 season at home on Saturday, May 14th vs the West Virginia Chaos. All games kick off at 7:00 PM.

The Dynamo also announced the signing of additional players for the 2011 USL Premier Development League season.

Those include three players from Duke, five players from High Point University, five from UNC Greensboro, and two from South Carolina.

The Dynamo returns both Karo & Fejiro Okiomah for their third season from High Point University, along with newcomers, Kendall Lawson, Adam Sewell. Michael Chesler returns having played with the Dynamo two season ago.

The three players from Duke include ACC Defender of the Year, Andrew Wenger and current U.S. U-20 Men’s National Team Member, Sebastien Ilbegha, along with Chris Tweed-Kent.

Kris Byrd and Peyton Ford both return from UNC Greensboro, along with Hakan Ilhan, Will Mack & Jonathan Leonard. Alex Long and Kevin Stam return for a second season for the Dynamo from the South Carolina Gamecocks.
