Junior defender Kevin Alston has decided to turn pro, IU coach Mike Freitag confirmed today.
The first-team All-Big Ten player will most likely sign with an MLS team. While Freitag said Alston's loss will create a void, he is sure another Hoosier will step in for Alston.
A native of Silver Spring, Md., Alston recorded two memorable goals this season, one coming in a 2-1 win against Duke Aug. 29 and another in an upset 3-1 victory against Notre Dame in Oct. 16.
"I'm just so pleased to see his growth over the years, " Freitag said. "He's going to have great success at the next level."
Freitag said he does not expect any other players to turn pro over winter break. The Hoosiers will resume practice in January.
