Troy Perkins...in college: Perkins played college soccer at the University of South Florida and the University of Evansville. He was named third-team All-Conference USA in 2001, and second-team All-CUSA in 2002. He transferred to Evansville for his senior season. At Evansville, he allowed only 21 goals in 19 matches, compiling a 1.09 goals-against-average. in MLS (it's a little old): Upon graduating in 2003, Perkins went undrafted. However, he was signed to a developmental contract by D.C. United. Not expected to contribute, Perkins was given an opportunity after both Nick Rimando and Doug Warren lost their starting positions. Perkins proved up to the task, and went on to start 16 games for the team, posting a 1.62 goals against average. Although Perkins was performing well, the team suffered during his tenure, and he was replaced near the end of the season with Nick Rimando, who would also start for United throughout the playoffs. During the 2006 season, Perkins was the starting goalkeeper for United, playing 30 of 32 games. He was also named 2006 MLS Goalkeeper of the year, Best XI, and voted to the 2006 All Star Team. So far, in the 2007 MLS season, Perkins has started and played in every game. He has 15 wins, with 7 shutouts and a 1.08 goals-against-average.
