In other moves, the Goats have placed defender Jim Curtin and striker Ante Razov on the disabled list, meaning neither will be available for selection in Major League Soccer for six matches.

Curtin has a tear in his left ankle which requires surgery likely to keep him out for the next four to six months. Razov has right ankle tendonitis.
