United's trust in Willis' big-game mentality pays off

WASHINGTON ? On August 13, with Bill Hamid serving a red card suspension, D.C. United third ?keeper Joe Willis recorded a shutout in a 4-0 win over the Vancouver Whitecaps in his MLS debut. Eight days later, Willis took a hard luck 1-0 loss on Aug. 21 against Sporting Kansas City.

The performances proved that Willis can hack it in MLS. But if it weren?t for ties to DC assistant coach Chad Ashton, Willis may have never made his way to the nation?s capital at all.
