Ricardo Cardoso Chosen by Orlando Sharks in MISL Draft
ORLANDO, Fla. - The Major Indoor Soccer League (MISL) held its 2008 College Draft on Tuesday and former University of Tampa standout Ricardo Cardoso was chosen with the first pick of the third round by the Orlando Sharks.
Cardoso is coming off a senior season where he led the Spartans to a 13-5-1 record and their first NCAA postseason appearance since 2001. He led UT in goals (12), points (27), shots (74) and shots on goal (37). The first-team NSCAA all-South Region selection was also named second team all-Sunshine State Conference. He was also part of the NCAA South regional all-tournament team.
As a junior for Tampa, the transfer from Georgia Perimeter conference tallied a team high 14 goals, 32 points, 87 shots, 49 shots on goal and three game-winning goals. In his first game as a Spartan, Cardoso registered a school record four goals in a win over #6 Clayton State. He concluded the year as a first-team all-SSC choice and second-team all-South Region selection.
Following two years at UT, Cardoso ranks seventh in Tampa history with 36 career goals while his 86 shots on goal rank first.
The draft, which was held via teleconference, consisted of one territorial Round and four numerical Rounds. MISL Teams that participated in last year's season (BAL, CAL, CHI, DET, MIL, PHI) were ranked in reverse order of last seasons' year-end win-loss percentage. MISL expansion teams participating in their first season of play (MTY, NJ, ORL) drafted ahead of all existing teams and were ranked in reverse order of their current season standings.
