SHU alum making noise on international level
Sacha Kljestan has gone from the pitch in South Orange to the international stage.The SHU men’s soccer alum and New York Red Bulls player was recently named to the United States Men’s National Team qualifying roster for the World Cup. He has been on the team in the past, but in this stint, Kljestan played on the national team in international friendlies against St. Vincent and the Grenadines and Trinidad and Tobago.
In the first match, where the USMNT won 6-0, Kljestan was substituted in the 66th minute. That did not alter his impact, though, as the Pirate alum recorded a goal and two assists in his first 12 minutes.
