Amoo, a forward, was taken by the Columbus Crew with the 10th pick of the third round of the draft, while Aseweh, a midfielder, was chosen with the 18th pick of the same round by the Houston Dynamo. Both players were key contributors for the Flames, who posted a 11-6-3 record this past season, claiming the Big South title.
