Longsworth (1981-84) lettered three years as CSU’s goalkeeper before his senior year was cut short due to injury after he posted two shutouts and allowed just three goals in five games. A first-team All-Ohio selection as a sophomore and junior, Longsworth played every minute of his first 39 career games with the streak coming to an end due to 100-degree weather and a case of the flu.
He was also a two-time All-Mideast selection, including a first-team pick in 1983. As a freshman, Longsworth set a school record with 2,025 minutes played and CSU freshmen records with 107 saves and eight shutouts, leading the Vikings to a school-record 14 wins. Longsworth ranks second in CSU history in goals against average (1.07), saves (311), and shutouts (26) and third in games played (63) among goalkeepers. Longsworth went 38-17-8 in goal for the Vikings during his career.
Longsworth, who was drafted by the MISL’s Baltimore Blast in 1984, had a school-record 10 shutouts in 1983.
