SMU Seniors Arthur Ivo and Ian Kalis were both chosen in Major League Soccer’s supplemental draft.

Ivo was drafted first when Toronto FC selected him with the fourth pick in the third round. One round later, Kalis was taken with the 11th pick by FC Dallas.

As a senior, Ivo led the Mustangs in goals with 10, in assists with 10, in points with 30, and in game-winning goals with four.

He probably had his best game against Marshall in the Conference USA tournament quarterfinals, where he recorded a hat trick, including the game-winner.

SMU would go on to win the C-USA championship.

Kalis, as a defender for the Mustangs, also had a solid season.

The senior started 20 games for the Mustangs, averaging 82.4 minutes per game.

In addition to tough defensive play, Kalis had a few highlights on the offensive end as well.

He scored his first career goal versus Oakland this season and assisted on the game-winning goal against Missouri State.

Playing for FC Dallas, Kalis, who is from nearby Plano, should receive a lot of home support.

Diogo de Almeida was drafted by Real Salt Lake earlier this week. He was selected fifth in the second round, making him the 24th overall pick.
