Atlanta Blaze Acquire Galasso, LoCascio

 

The Atlanta Blaze acquired two players this afternoon when they traded for Nicky Galasso and Joe LoCascio of the Florida Launch. Going to the Launch in return is a 2017 second round supplemental draft selection and a fourth round collegiate draft pick.

Galasso, a midfielder and former player for Syracuse, has been with the Launch since last season. In 2015 he played in three games where he picked up one goal in a victory over the New York Lizards.

LoCascio, another midfielder, also played with Florida in 2015 when he played in four contests and had one goal and two assists. LoCascio was a third round draft selection out of Maryland in the collegiate draft of 2015.

The Blaze have worked to build a strong roster for an expansion team, and have already made a deep midfield led by Jeremy Noble, Justin Pennington, and Ryan Tucker.

Atlanta will open its season on April 23rd at home against the Chesapeake Bayhawks.
