NEW YORK (Tuesday, Nov. 25, 2014) – Major League Soccer announced today that Seattle Sounders FC defender and MLS veteran Chad Marshall has been named 2014 Defender of the Year. This is Marshall’s third Defender of the Year award – the most any one defender has won in MLS history. In addition, Mark Geiger has been named Referee of the Year, summing up a season in which he was also selected as one of the 25 referees to officiate the 2014 FIFA World Cup. Colleague Paul Scott picked up the Assistant Referee of the Year award.

 

2014 Defender of the Year: Chad Marshall – Seattle Sounders FC

In his first year with Seattle Sounders FC, Chad Marshall proved to be an invaluable part of Seattle’s back line, anchoring the Sounders’ defense as the club went on to capture its first-ever Supporters’ Shield and its fourth U.S. Open Cup title. Marshall’s imposing 6’4’’ frame caused problems for opposing squads on both ends of the field, with the California native notching one goal and three assists in his 31 appearances for the Cascadia club, all of which were starts. His blend of aerial dominance, vision and composure proved instrumental for the Sounders in 2014, who are now vying for a spot in the MLS Cup final.

The award was voted on by media, MLS players and MLS club management based on regular season performance. The other two finalists were D.C. United defender Bobby Boswell and LA Galaxy defender Omar Gonzalez. Below is a breakdown of the voting for the top four candidates:
