Loudoun United have acquired defenders Shane Wiedt and Robby Dambrot. The pair played together at the University of Akron and the University of Pittsburgh.

"These are two more exciting signings for us ahead of moving to Segra Field for our stadium opener today," Ryan Martin, Loudoun United Head Coach, said. "Both players played big matches in the acc for one of the top coaches in the country, Jay Vidovich, so i know the habits and quality we are getting from his players and because of this we will provide great defensive cover as we hit an important stretch in the season. We need to pick up points in our new home and we're looking forward to adding the pair to our roster."
