Former University of San Diego soccer star Miguel Berry made his professional soccer debut for San Diego Loyal SC in their 0-0 draw against Orange County SC on Saturday. Berry signed for San Diego earlier last week, on loan from Major League Soccer side Columbus Crew. The loan deal means Berry will play for Loyal SC for the remainder of the 2020 season, as well as the playoffs, if San Diego qualifies.
Berry was drafted seventh overall in the 2020 MLS draft in January, but did not appear in any of Columbus’ eight competitive matches this COVID-interrupted season.
