MSOC | Angebretsen, Prieur Sign with MLS Teams

MORAGA, Calif. — Two former Gaels, Anders Engebretsen and Remi Prieur have been signed by Major League Soccer teams this winter and will head to their respective USL teams when play resumes later in the spring.

Engebretsen was drafted in the fourth round of this year's MLS SuperDraft by FC Dallas and will suit up for North Texas SC, a member of USL League One. The 24-year old forward had one of the best offensive seasons in Saint Mary's history this past fall as he tallied 40 points en route to being named West Coast Conference Co-Player of the Year and becoming the first Gael to ever be selected as a First Team All-American.

Prieur will see time with Sporting KC II who play in the USL Championship League. Preiur was drafted 47th overall in this year's SuperDraft by Columbus Crew SC but opted to sign with Sporting KC instead. The San Ramon native was named WCC Goalkeeper of the Year in each of the past two seasons and posted 11 clean sheets with a 0.80 goals-against average in his final campaign in Moraga.

North Texas SC plays at Globe Life Park in Arlington which is also home to the Major League Baseball's Texas Rangers and the XFL's Dallas Renegades. The team won the USL League One championship last year in its first year of existence.

SKC II play their home games at Children's Mercy Park in Kansas City, the same arena the MLS team plays in. Prieur is joined on the roster by another WCC alum, Camden Riley, who starred at Pacific and left the program as UOP's all-time leader in goals scored.

The MLS and USL seasons are currently suspended due to the COVID-19 situation and have a tentative return date of May 10.
