CLEVELAND, OHIO- Former Cleveland Force forward Connally Edozien and defender and Brecksville native Mark Schulte have made the jump to Major League Soccer (MLS) as both have been signed to contracts for the 2005 season.

Edozien signed with the New England Revolution on March 31 and is a member of the Revolution's 18-man roster. Connally appeared in four games with the Force this season and tallied seven shots and three blocks. The 27-year old native of London, England joined Cleveland after taking on the Force in two exhibitions games with the Cincinnati Excite of the American Indoor Soccer League (AISL).
