[edit] Career

[edit] College and Amateur

Burch played college soccer at the University of Evansville for three seasons from 2002-2004, scoring 7 goals and assisting on 22 along the way, and spent the summer months playing for the Cleveland Internationals in the amateur USL Premier Development League. After the 2004 season he transferred to the University of Maryland, where he would become a crucial member of the Terrapin squad that won the College Cup, even scoring the game-winning goal in the championship against New Mexico.^[1]

[edit] Professional

Burch was drafted in the second round, 24th overall, by the Los Angeles Galaxy in the 2006 MLS SuperDraft. On July 11 2006, Burch was traded from the Galaxy after appearing in only 3 games. He was sent to the Columbus Crew for a second round pick in the 2007 MLS Supplemental Draft. Burch was traded again on April 4, 2007 to D.C. United for a 3rd round 2008 MLS Supplemental Draft pick. There he was converted from a striker to a left back.

He scored his first professional goal against Toronto FC on September 29, 2007 in a 4-1 win for D.C. In 2008 he scored both goals from 2 free kicks in a 2-0 win for D.C. over the Rochester Raging Rhinos in the 2008 US Open Cup third round.^[2] It has been pointed out by D.C. United broadcaster Thomas Rongen that Marc Burch "serves great balls" from his position as a left back/left midfielder in D.C. United's formation.
