Cody Reinberg Signs With Harrisburg City Islanders

College Soccer: Drury Panthers vs Northern KentuckyFormer Drury Panther captain, Cody Reinberg, continues his development by signing with USL-2 Harrisburg City Islanders.

A native of Missouri, Cody Reinberg joins the Islanders after a year with another elite PDL club the Des Moines Menace. Prior to joining the Menace, he was a four-year starter at Drury University in Springfield, MO and played for the Springfield Demize in 2007. During his time as a Panther, Reinberg was an All-Great Lakes Valley Conference Honorable Mention and All-Great Lakes Region Third team, and All-Conference First Team honors.

Cody’s not the only St Louis boy on the squad, he’s joined by Tim Velten who played for SIU-Edwardsville and Louisville before joining Harrisburg in 2007.

Another familiar face is Brandon Swartzendruber, formerly of the Thunder Bay Chill.

Though a rookie to the USL-2, Brandon Swartzendruber is a natural goal scorer. He proved his scoring ability during two impressive seasons with the USL’s PDL Thunder Bay Chill. During the 2007 season, he scored 16 goals and recorded 4 assists, finishing second in the PDL for both goals and points. He continued his scoring success in 2008, scoring 13 goals and adding 8 assists, leading the Chill to the PDL Championship. A five-time PDL team of the week selection over two seasons, Swartzendruber was selected to the PDL All-Central Conference team for the 2008 season

On the strength of a 70th minute goal by Brandon Swartzendruber, the Chill earned the first win of their short season while keeping the Demize winless tonight. Springfield opened the scoring in the 20th minute, after several early opportunities as Isreal Bisoni was able to get into the box on the right side. Daniel Foerster took advantage of space in the middle as the Chill responded to the wide attack and put a hard shot past the goalkeeper after breaking into the box.

The Chill fought back late in the first half on some excellent individual work. Gustavo Oliveira-Araujo De F, wearing the #10 jersey, showed why as he took a pass and dribbled around three defenders before slotting his shot past the goalkeeper in the 40th (pictured).

The game winner was created by Oliveira-Araujo De F on a counter-attack. A quick diagonal ball sent Swartzendruber in alone and he buried his opportunity after Chris Hanlon blunted a similar attack only a minute earlier.

The Chill are now 1-1-1 and face the KC Brass tomorrow. The Demize hit the road for Colorado next weekend and will return for three games in early July. The Chill will visit July 2nd to make up Friday’s rain out while the Lions visit July 3rd. A final home game July 10th against Colorado will complete the season.
