Thompson selected 28th overall by Houston Dynamo in 2008 MLS Supplemental Draft

Former Colorado School of Mines men's soccer player Craig Thompson was drafted by the Houston Dynamo in a Jan. 24 Major League Soccer (MLS) Supplemental Draft.

A 5'8", 160-pound forward from Littleton (Highlands Ranch High School), Thompson was selected 28th overall by Houston this afternoon.

Thompson, who garnered NSCAA / adidas First Team All-Midwest Region honors following his senior season in 2007, also earned First Team All-Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference (RMAC) and Daktronics First Team All-Midwest Region accolades last fall.

Selected as the RMAC Player of the Year and the RMAC Academic Player of the Year in 2007, Thompson led the Orediggers and established a new individual single-season program record with 18 goals in 2007.

Thompson, who also led Mines in assists (tied - five) and game-winning goals (four) last fall, tied CSM's individual single-season program record for total points (41) during his final season in an Oredigger uniform.

A three-time Academic All-RMAC performer in the classroom (2005, 2006 and 2007), Thompson also garnered First Team All-RMAC, NSCAA / adidas Second Team All-Midwest Region and Daktronics All-Midwest Region laurels as a junior in 2006.

Houston, which plays its home matches at Robertson Stadium on the campus of the University of Houston, captured back-to-back MLS Cup Championships in 2006 and 2007.
