Contribution from Austin Aztex Media Relations and Lonestar Soccer Club
AUSTIN, Texas (January 8, 2014) — The Austin Aztex announced today that Paul Dalglish will join the coaching staff of Major League Soccer club Real Salt Lake, winners of the 2009 MLS Cup and finalists in 2013. Dalglish will serve as an assistant coach under new head coach, Jeff Cassar. Dalglish also served as a coach for the Lonestar Soccer Club.
HOUSTON – With his club looking for a second half spark, Brad Davis provided the necessary magic to clinch another home victory for the Houston Dynamo, this time against the Chicago Fire, and the club’s name in the history books in the process.
The Eastern Conference battle looked destined to finish even, with neither team able to gain a foothold on the second half, but in the 81st minute Davis took a Kofi Sarkodie pass and clipped in a cross that went untouched and nestled in the far-side netting.

“A primary purpose of the Aztex is to develop players for the next level,” said Aztex Director of Operations Ric Granryd. “To have three players drafted in the top 11, who have represented our club in our first year, is an extraordinary privilege.”
Manneh, the 18-year-old Lake Travis High School student, was chosen by the Vancouver Whitecaps with the fourth overall pick. Manneh stood out last year as a 17-year-old forward who scored 10 goals in the regular season for the Austin Aztex. Manneh earned a spot on the PDL Southern All-Conference team and was the first forward selected in the draft.
Smith was chosen by the Montreal Impact with the 8th overall pick. He joined the Austin Aztex and immediately added an extra scoring threat to head coach Paul Dalglish’s attacking system. The dangerous forward scored in the top five of every skill test during the 2013 MLS Combine. Smith, a native of Boerne, Texas, played four years at the University of New Mexico.
Powers, a central midfielder, was chosen by the Colorado Rapids with the 11th overall pick. The midfielder played all four years at the University of Notre Dame and was a two-time team captain for the Fighting Irish. In two games for the Austin Aztex in 2012, Powers led a dominant midfield and helped the Aztex outscore their opponents 13 to 1.
