Five members of the High Point University men's soccer team will take time to play in United Soccer League's Premier Development League (PDL) this summer. Michael Chesler, Karo Okiomah, Fejiro Okiomah, Adam Sewell and Shane Malcolm have all been added to rosters this season.

Karo Okiomah and Fejiro Okiomah return to the Carolina Dynamo in nearby Greensboro, N.C., and will be joined by Sewell and Chesler.

Karo Okiomah, the Big South Player of the Year, scored 12 goals in just 16 contests this season for HPU. He finished tied for the Big South lead in goals scored and just one point shy of the lead in points with 26, despite playing in five less games than either of the two conference leaders.

Fejiro Okiomah finished the season tied for the Big South lead with 27 points on 12 goals and three assists. A first-team All-Big South selection, he was twice named Big South Player of the Week. The sophomore scored seven goals in the final six games of the regular season to charge into a tie for the Big South lead.

Chesler started every game in goal for HPU this season, setting the HPU Division I single-season record for wins with 16 and goals-against average with a 0.89 mark. Chesler led the Big South in goals-against average and in save percentage at .762. The junior recorded a Big South-best nine shutouts on the season, moving into the HPU Division I career lead with 16.

Sewell was named the Big South Freshman of the Year in 2010, the second-straight HPU player to win the award. The defensive midfielder stepped into the starting lineup in the third game of the season and refused to relinquish his spot, starting each of the final 16 games of the season. Sewell rarely exited a match, averaging 84 minutes per game on the season.

After playing with the Fort Lauderdale Schulz Academy last summer, Malcolm is playing this year with Reading United AC in Reading, Pa. He started every game in 2010, compiling 20 points on seven goals and six assists. Malcolm tied for the team lead with four game-winning goals.

All five players will also be competing in the US Open Cup with their PDL sides. The tournament is the oldest ongoing American soccer competition and is open to all United States Soccer Federation affiliated teams, from amateur adult leagues to professional clubs from Major League Soccer. The Dynamo will open the tournament at home against the USL Pro's Charlotte Eagles while Reading will travel to the USL Pro squad Harrisburg City Islanders. Both games will be played on June 14.

The USL Premier Development League is the amateur league of the United Soccer Leagues in the United States and Canada. It is currently the top level men's amateur competition in the United States, and is comprised of 67 teams competing in four conferences, split into eight regional divisions.
