A pair of Philadelphia area players traded goals at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park, while another linked up to give Harrisburg a win in the USL.

This weekend’s matchup between the Colorado Rapids and Montreal Impact provided excitement for anyone following the Pennsylvania players.  Rookie Andrew Wenger slotted in at forward for his first start in his MLS career.  This alone would be cause for celebration for the 21-year-old Lititz, Pa. native, but Wenger took the opportunity to prove his value as the No. 1 overall SuperDraft pick by scoring Montreal’s second of the match.  The neatly taken near-post goal would be Wenger’s second in his short MLS career.

Perhaps Wenger was simply taking his cues from another Philadelphia area player celebrating on the field in Commerce City, Colorado on Saturday, as veteran Jeff Larentowicz put Colorado on the board earlier in the match with a powerful penalty kick just inside the left post.  This would also be Larentowicz’s second of the season.

Finally, if Saturday’s game in Toronto left you wondering what could have been, you need not have looked any further than the Harrisburg City Islanders’ match-up against Rochester.  The match saw Union alumni J.T. Noone and Morgan Langley team up for the game’s only goal.
