Two soccer standouts drafted by Earthquakes

Former Santa Clara University stars Ryan Cochrane and Steve Cronin were drafted in the first round by the San Jose Earthquakes during the Major League Soccer Superdraft. Cochrane was the fifth overall pick while Cronin was selected 10th. Cochrane and Cronin decided to forego their senior seasons at Santa Clara to play professionally. The duo helped the Broncos to the 2003 West Coast Conference Championship and a 13-3-3 record during the regular season.
