Pertz Tries out with Kickers
February 21, 2010 - Professional Arena Soccer League (PASL)
Ohio Vortex News Release
The Ohio Vortex announced that defender Michael Pertz will participate in a tryout this weekend with the Richmond Kickers of the United Soccer League's Second Division. Pertz will be among 100 players from 18 different countries that will be attending this pro tryout at the Kickers training facility, Ukrop Park. This same facility is among those being considered as a team base camp in the USA bid for the 2018/2022 FIFA World Cup.
The Medina, OH resident began his collegiate career at the University of Akron (OH) before stints at Mount Vernon Nazarene University (OH) and Azusa Pacific University (CA). Pertz has become a stalwart for the Vortex backline, where his size and deceptive speed are an asset. Scouting reports suggest that he could develop into a "Chad Marshall style" defender with the ability to defend and score in the box.
