Fort Lauderdale, FL - Bowling Green State University senior midfielder Chris Dor‚ (Vermillion, OH/Lorain Catholic) was selected by Hampton Roads in the 2000 A-League Draft held yesterday in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
The Mariners passed on a Territorial pick but received a selection prior to the first round and used that pick to select Dor‚. The only other Mid-American Conference player taken in the three round draft (two rounds plus territorial) was Western Michigan goalkeeper Eric Pogue, who went in the second round to Hershey.
Dor‚ led the Falcons in scoring this past season with 26 points on nine goals and eight assists. He finished his career in sixth place with 75 career points, eighth in goals (26) and ninth assists (23).
In December, Dor‚ was selected by the Cleveland Crunch in the Territorial Round (13th overall) of the National Professional Soccer League. Another former Falcon, Steve Klein, is currently playing with the Harrisburg Heat of the NPSL. Three other former BG soccer players played in the A-League last summer -- Mark Michalak and Brett Strang with the Cincinnati Riverhawks, while goalkeeper Scott Vallow was a member of the U.S. Pro-40 team. Vallow was assigned to the Dallas Burn but has since been released.
