U.S. U17 MNT player picks home program

U.S. U17 MNT player picks home program
December 30, 2011
In the time Edwin Luna spent with the U.S. U17 Men's National Team, he learned plenty. Mostly, that there's so much more he wants to accomplish as a player.

"It was a good experience but I feel as though I never really got my chance to show what I could do," Luna said. "I'm working hard to get back and to become a better player."

Luna's journey will take him to Sacramento State where he has committed for the 2012 season. He'll join players like Cesar Mendoza and Nathaniel Nugen when he arrives this fall.

A local product from San Jose, Luna is a dynamic goal-scorer who is anxious to take his game to the next level. He's recently taken to playing futsal in order to improve his footwork and ball skills – two areas that are already strengths. 

For Luna, there is always more work to be done.

"My coach (on the U17 National Team) was always yelling at me to work on my left foot, now I finally have a nice left foot," he said. "I'm just continuing to work hard."
