Two pillars of the Vermont men’s soccer team’s stunning NCAA Division I championship run heard their names called in the MLS SuperDraft on Friday.

The Colorado Rapids selected midfielder Sydney Wahuta with the No. 16 pick, and New York FC took defender Max Murray with the No. 17 pick. Wathuta and Murray started their week with Vermont’s 2–1 win over Marshall in the championship game on Monday in North Carolina.
