Saint Louis Billikens Athletics

Kalish on Rodrigues:
"We believe Dudu is one of the top attacking players in the nation. Although he may not be a well-known name around the country, anyone who has seen him play knows how talented he is. Under the tutelage of coach Marcos Silva at Gateway, he has really blossomed and developed all aspects of his game. When Dudu steps on the field, he's not afraid to fail which says a lot about his mentality. He wants to consistently create for himself and his teammates and is capable of beating his opponents in many ways. We think Dudu will have a tremendous career at Saint Louis and we look forward to him being a Billiken."

Rodrigues on why he chose Saint Louis:
"The main reasons I chose SLU is the quality academics and because I believe that the soccer staff and teammates can push me to be better and improve each day. They can provide me with very good opportunities to reach my goal of becoming a professional soccer player. Beyond the SLU staff, I have people around me in St. Louis that can also help me when needed. Lastly, I'll have teammates around me that have same goals as me and people that care about each other. SLU is the perfect environment for me and the one that I was looking for in the recruiting process."
