Former OSU player named to national team

Former Oregon State men’s soccer standout Bryan Jordan has been called up to the United States Under-23 Men’s National Team and will make his debut with the national squad as the team plays in the Toulon International Tournament in France.

The team opens play against Turkey on Wednesday in a match to be televised by the Fox Soccer Channel at 6:30 a.m. on the West coast.

“This is a tremendous honor for Bryan (Jordan) to have the opportunity to wear the national jersey,” Oregon State head coach Dana Taylor said. “He is a great example of a young man who continues to make the most of his opportunities as he plays with heart and truly believes in his abilities.”

Jordan, who plays professionally with the Los Angeles Galaxy of the MLS, scored 15 goals in 68 career games for Oregon State, including five goals in both his junior and senior seasons.

A two-time Pac-10 All-Academic first team selection, Jordan also earned an All-Pac-10 honorable mention as a senior in 2006.

Italy and the Ivory Coast are the other two teams in Pool B as the United States will face Ivory Coast on Friday at 9:30 a.m. and close out pool play against Italy on Sunday at 9:00 a.m. All games will be televised by Fox Soccer Channel.
