Coach Muuss on Brown: 'Oliver is a goalkeeper we identified early on in the recruiting process as a potential replacement for Joe Willis, who[apos]s now with DC United. Oliver has great hands, is athletic, fearless and competitive. He also is a tremendous leader who carries all the attributes we look for in a DU player.'
