Alex Bengard has more than the usual camaraderie to look back on from his days as a Toros midfielder. Having been on the team that won the NCAA Division II National Championship in 2000, being drafted after graduation by the L.A. Galaxy Major League Soccer team where he played for two years,
and moving on to the Northwest where he played for United Soccer League’s Seattle Sounders in 2003 and the Portland Timbers in 2004 has inspired the co-director of the 2B Academy in Southern California to pass the ball to aspiring young athletes through personal training, soccer camps and the
lessons that can be learned through soccer, on and off the pitch.
