CARSON, Calif.--Cal State Dominguez Hills senior Victor Guerrero (Santa Ana, CA/Century HS) is among 54 college players invited to attend the 2004 adidas MLS Player Combine from Sunday, Jan. 11 to Tuesday, Jan. 13 at The Home Depot Center on the campus of Cal State Dominguez Hills.

MLS general managers and members of all 10 coaching staffs will be in attendance to scout talent at the event leading up to the 2004 SuperDraft, which will be held on Friday, January 16 at the Charlotte Convention Center (10:00 a.m. ET - 2:00 p.m. ET). For the second consecutive year the SuperDraft will be held in conjunction with the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) Convention, one of the largest annual soccer gatherings in the United States.

Guerrero, a Santa Ana, CA native from Century High School, was named the 2003 California Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA) Player of the Year after scoring 28 points during his final campaign. Guerrero was also selected First-Team All-CCAA after leading the league in assists (14) while registering seven goals. This season he also tied the Toros all-time career scoring mark of 89 points held by Head Coach Joe Flanagan.
