Cleveland Force News Release


The Force signed Brecksville native and Walsh Jesuit High School graduate Mark Schulte to a 15-day or five game contract last Thursday.

While at Walsh Jesuit H.S., Mark was a four-year starter and letter winner. Schulte tallied five goals and added 10 assists for a total of 20 points in his four-year career from his defender position. Schulte was named to the Greater Akron All-District team, All-State team, and the Cleveland Plain Dealer Seven County All-Star Team as only 11 players are selected to this team.

In his first two games of indoor soccer this past weekend, Schulte recorded two blocks.

MILESTONE MANIA:

Cleveland forward Lee Edgerton became the fourth Force player to achieve a milestone this season when he went over the 200th career point total on his third goal on Friday night versus the Philadelphia KiXX.

Edgerton now stands at 207 career-points after a 12-point outburst this past weekend. Lee recorded season-high eight points as he scored season-high four goals on Friday night and then followed that performance up with a two-goal display on Saturday night.

Edgerton joins Jim Larkin (1,000th career save), Hector Marinaro (1,200th career goal) and Giuliano Oliviero (200th career assist and 700th career point) as the Force players to achieve milestones this season.
