Galaxy to Have Two in U.S. Exhibition

Galaxy goalkeeper Kevin Hartman and defender Greg Vanney were two of 18 players named by Coach Bruce Arena to the U.S. national team that will play Jamaica in Kingston on Sept. 8.

Arena is taking a young team on the trip. Fifteen of the 18 have played fewer than eight national team games and four are being called up from the U.S. under-23 team preparing for the Sydney 2000 Olympics.
