INDIANAPOLIS – David Goldsmith was used to starting and putting up gaudy numbers while setting the Big East ablaze at Butler last year. The rookie Indy Eleven forward quickly learned things don’t come so easily at the next level.
Goldsmith, Big East Co-Offensive Player of the Year, went unselected in the 2017 Major League Soccer SuperDraft. The Eleven, who play a tier lower in the North American Soccer League, brought him in for a preseason trial. The 23-year-old had to earn his spot. And he did.
“When he first came in on trial, he caught the coaching staff’s eye quite quickly,” said Eleven captain Colin Falvey.
