NEW YORK - Former University of Cincinnati all-American Omar Cummings has been named to the 2011 Major League Soccer All-Star roster that will compete against Manchester United of the Barclay's Premier League in the 2011 AT&T MLS All-Star Game on July 27 at Red Bull Arena.
Cummings, who led the Colorado Rapids to an MLS Cup championship in 2010, has missed time with injury this season, but has scored a pair of goals in 10 starts for the Rapids in his fifth MLS season. He is making his first all-star appearance.
A 2006 first-team all-American, Cummings helped the Bearcats to a BIG EAST Red Division title and an NCAA berth during his senior campaign. He was a two-time unanimous first-team all-BIG EAST honoree and scored 13 goals with 16 assists in two seasons as a Bearcat.
The MLS All-Star game will be televised by ESPN2 at 8:30 p.m. on July 27.
