LOS ANGELES - Although Temple isn't too well known on the college soccer landscape, Jorge Gomez Sanchez's statistics are simply too good to ignore.
In just two years on North Broad Street, the Spaniard tallied 27 goals and eight assists in 36 games. That earned him a trip to Major League Soccer's scouting combine, the official prelude to Friday's SuperDraft.
His journey to this point has been unconventional. After playing in the academy of Spanish La Liga club Osasuna, he enrolled at Madrid's Universidad Europea. While studying there and playing for Spanish third-division team La Roda, he was scouted by an agency that places European athletes at American colleges.
