Trask on Fernandez:
"Lalo is a soccer player who plays in goal, and to make that distinction allows for a soccer team to play differently. Lalo brings a wealth of experience and plays beyond his years after growing up in a family where his Dad played professionally in Mexico. Lalo is currently playing for the Real Salt Lake Academy program and has been invited into camp with the United States U-20 National Team. He has also trained extensively with top professional clubs in Mexico. Lalo is a player who makes all his teammates better and brings a training ethic rarely seen in collegiate players."
