3. COLLEGE: SLU's Ibisevic plays for PSG against Juventus
Saint Louis University striker Vedad Ibisevic, the 2003 Soccer
America College Freshman of the Year, started for French First
Division club Paris St. Germain over the weekend in its 1-0 loss to
Italian club Juventus.
Ibisevic, 19, joined PSG on a tryout in mid-July. He was spotted by
PSG coach Vahid Halilhodzic playing in a friendly game for Bosnia's
under-21 team. Like Ibisevic, Halilhodzic is Bosnian.
Ibisevic moved to the St. Louis area when he was 15 and attended
Roosevelt High School before joining the Billikens. He had 18 goals
and four assists in his freshman season.
