In three seasons with the Rapids, Hahnemann's regular-season record is 49-36. He leaves a …

In the first-ever international match at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Fla. the U.S. U-17 national team drew 2-2 against England to extend its unbeaten streak to 14 matches, 10 months and 1,240 minutes. At England's insistence, the match was shortened to 70 minutes, with two 35-minute halves and unlimited substitutions were allowed. "We had a lot of chances today and did not capitalize on them. In New Zealand, scoring opportunities will be few and far. We will need to improve on converting our chances if we want to have a chance of advancing out of our group," said U-17 …
