A midfielder on the Upstate team caught my attention when he scored on a righty rollback with a Baltimore defender draped all over him. That midfielder was Matthew Niedzialek, who ended up with two goals in that game. He’s a shifty dodger who can shoot with either hand, but his money-maker is his righty stepdown—he doesn’t need much time or space to let it fly. Niedzialek’s versatility, toughness, and ability to create offense out of tight windows will make him a player to keep an eye on.
