Providence’s Matt Marcin added to MLS Combine

Providence College midfielder Matt Marcin was added to the final MLS Combine roster. Marcin will take part in the combine at Central Broward Regional Park in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. this weekend.

Marcin, along with over 70 other prospects including five players from New England colleges that were previously announced, was placed on a team for the five day combine. Players were divided into four teams of approximately 18 players each. The teams will all play each other once for a total of three games from January 8^th-11^th. They will then be eligible for the MLS SuperDraft, which will be held in Baltimore on Jan. 13.

In his senior year, Marcin led the Friars to a 13-6-3 overall record and to the BIG EAST Championship Final where they fell to Louisville on penalties. The Friars also advanced to the second round of the NCAA Championships for the first time ever. During the season Providence had an impressive 10 game unbeaten run (8-0-2)

Marcin had a career year, leading the team with 10 goals and 4 assists for 24 points. He finished his career with 22 goals and nine assists. The Wilmington, Del. native earned All-BIG EAST First Team, BIG EAST All-Tournament Team, and All-Northeast Region First Team honors as a senior. Prior to college, Marcin played club soccer for FC Delco, the same club that helped develop former New England Revolution midfielder Jeff Larentowicz.

Other local college players joining Marcin at the combine include Boston College midfielder Karl Reddick, Dartmouth College midfielder Daniel Keat, Brown midfielder Jon Okafor, University of Connecticut goalkeeper Josh Ford and defender Greg King.

All MLS Combine games are expected to be streamed live at MLSSoccer.com.
