Ives Galarcep reports on Soccer by Ives on how Mike Grella and his Leeds United teammates shoot for promotion from the English third division (League One) to the second division (League Championship).
Grella, who passed on the 2009 MLS Draft to sign with Leeds, has become a regular substitute as the team's first forward option off the bench.
...As for Grella, he saw minutes in all of Leeds' matches down the stretch of the regular season. Not bad for a 22-year-old striker who was playing for Duke University just seven months ago.
Leeds trails Millwall 1-0 after the first leg, but will host the second leg today. Johnson's MK Dons is in a better spot, having tied Scunthorpe United, 1-1, in the first leg of their series. MK Dons will host the second leg on Friday.
Mike was as dynamic a goal scorer as there was in College Soccer the past four seasons while at Duke University, and a promotion into the Championship might lead to a call-up by US National team coach Bob Bradley.
