Coach Trevor Dawkins remembers meeting Waldorf. And after two years, he did become a very good goalkeeper. He grasps things quite well . . . Playing soccer in an enclosed area presented a new challenge to Waldorf. There's less time to gather the ball.
Outdoor soccer is more fluid.
Waldorf played with the Buffalo team from 1992 to 1994. Then he stopped to concentrate on his last year of law school. Around the time he graduated, soccer came knocking on his door again. Actually, the invitation came in the form of a phone call from his former coach from the Blizzards. Dawkins had relocated to Houston to coach the Hotshots, and he encouraged Waldorf to try out for the team.
