MONTREAL (AP) — Andrew Wenger played defender, midfielder and striker on his way to Major League Soccer.
And the juggling act has kept right on going since he was taken by the Montreal Impact with the top pick in January’s SuperDraft — only now it’s school and pro soccer he’s trying to accommodate.
The 21-year-old from Lancaster, Pa., has been commuting between Montreal and Durham, N.C., going back to school at Duke on Saturday night or Sunday mornings and returning late Tuesdays to rejoin the MLS expansion team.
The Impact (0-3-1) played in New York on Saturday, losing 5-2 to the Red Bulls, and then flew directly to Utah for a game against Real Salt Lake (3-1-0) on Wednesday. After that, it’s back to Montreal for a date Saturday with Toronto FC.
