Player's Bio
MLS Experience
Nov. 2010: United sends Rodney Wallace and fourth round SuperDraft selection to Portland
2010: During his second season with United, Rodney Wallace started all 11 matches that he played in at leftback, tallying 924 minutes and two assists before fracturing his left fibula on 6/5 against Real Salt Lake. He underwent surgery to fixate the fracture, but his injury kept him out of action for the remainder of the season.
2009: United’s first pick in the 2009 MLS SuperDraft – and sixth overall – was youngster Rodney Wallace, who left the University of Maryland early to sign a Generation adidas contract. Playing as either a defender or midfielder, the Costa Rican native quietly became one of the steadiest players on the Black-and-Red squad, and has been rewarded by playing the most minutes on the team (3,117) in all competitions. With three goals and three assists in 28 League games (25 starts), Wallace provided an offensive spark to go along with his tough-nosed defense. In all competitions, the 21 year-old appeared in 38 games (30 starts) and collected three goals and five assists.
COLLEGE EXPERIENCE
2008: During his second and final season at Maryland, Wallace helped the Terrapins capture the 2008 College Cup, starting each of the 25 games he saw time in. While playing predominantly as a left back, he scored three goals and contributed three assists. For his efforts he was named to the All-ACC Second Team.
2007: Wallace started all 21 games for Maryland as a freshman, the only first-year player to do so. He was second on the team in goals (7), and had one assist. He was named to the All-ACC Freshman team.
Acquired
Selected in the first round (6th overall) of the 2009 MLS SuperDraft on 1/15/09.

Experiencia MLS
2009: Primera selección de United en el MLS SuperDraft 2009 – y sexto en total – fue el joven Rodney Wallace, quien dejó la Universidad de Maryland temprano para firmar un contrato Generación Adidas. Jugando como defensa o mediocampista, el oriundo de Costa Rica calladamente se convirtió en uno de los jugadores más consistentes de la escuadra, y fue recompensado al jugar la mayor cantidad de minutos en el equipo (3,117) en todas las competencias. Con tres goles y tres asistencias en 28 partidos de Liga (25 como titular), Wallace proveyó una chispa ofensiva en conjunto a su fuerte defensa. En todas las competencias, el joven de 21 años se presentó en 38 partidos (30 como titular) y acumuló tres goles y cinco asistencias.
Experiencia Universitaria
2008: Durante su segunda y última temporada en la Universidad de Maryland, Wallace ayudó a los Terrapins capturar el campeonato de la Copa Colegial 2008, alineando de titular en 25 partidos en la temporada. Jugando principalmente como zaguero izquierdo, anotó tres tantos y dio tres pases de gol. Por sus esfuerzos durante el año, fue nombrado al All-ACC Second Team.
2007: Wallace fue jugador titular en todos los 21 partidos de la temporada para Marlyand durante su primer año, el único novato en hacerlo. Fue el segundo mejor goleador del equipo con siete goles, y obtuvo una asistencia. Fue nombrado al All-ACC Freshman team.
