Tosaint Ricketts (UW-Green Bay) saw his club season come to a premature end.

But the striker should be back on the field soon with the Canadian national team.

The 24-year-old Ricketts was one of 22 players called into training camp by manager Stephen Hart ahead of three matches in June.

Cedarburg has been the top-ranked Division 1 prep girls soccer team in Wisconsin all spring.

Now the Bulldogs are getting some national attention.

Cedarburg vaulted into the National Soccer Coaches Association of America poll this week, making its season debut in the rankings at No. 9.

Lebogang Moloto scored in the 102nd and 108th minutes as the PDL's Des Moines Menace outlasted the host Milwaukee Bavarians 3-1 after extra time in a wild first-round match of the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup on Wednesday night in Glendale.

Kickoff was pushed back nearly an hour because of thunderstorms, and the start of the second half also was delayed by inclement weather.

The game included three red cards and a missed penalty kick, and then with the teams set to start the two 15-minute periods of extra time, the field's automatic sprinklers turned on. The match, scheduled to start at 7 p.m., didn't finish until 11 p.m. 

Croatian Eagles manager Alex Toth took every second allowable before deciding whether Bryce Boyd (Milwaukee Marquette/UW-Milwaukee) or former professional Ante Cop would start in goal for the team's Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup opener Tuesday night.

"I agonized with that decision," Toth said. "I'm not kidding you: I had to turn the rosters in at 5 p.m. and I didn't make that decision until 5 p.m."

Toth decided to go with Boyd in the first-round match against the Chicago Fire PDL team, and the move paid off as the keeper counted several highlight-reel stops among his eight saves on the night.

Boyd's fine performance kept the Croatians in the match after they allowed an early goal, but the amateur team couldn't find an equalizer despite late pressure and dropped a 1-0 decision to the Fire developmental side at the Toyota Park Practice Field in Bridgeview, Ill.

Here's an update on the 2013 recruiting classes for the state's four Division I men's soccer programs, and other state players who have made non-binding verbal commitments to colleges.

Recruit information was gathered from a number of media and team sources. Players can sign national letters of intent starting in February 2013.
