M. Soccer's Cepero drafted by pro team
Penn senior goalkeeper Dan Cepero was selected in the fourth round of the MLS Supplemental Draft by the New York Red Bulls.
Cepero was a unanimous first-team All-Ivy selection this year, He started every game during his junior and senior years, accruing a school record 23 shutouts for his career.
As a captain at Penn during the 2006 campaign, he marshalled shutouts in four of seven Ivy League games, almost single-handedly propelling the Quakers to a league championship.
It is likely that Cepero, should he choose to pursue a professional career, would be fighting for a spot on the Red Bulls' developmental roster.
The Baldwin, N.Y. native is the second consecutive Penn goalkeeper to be drafted by the MLS. Matt Haefner was selected 52nd in the 2004 Superdraft by the Columbus Crew, but never signed a contract.
