[edit]

Lamphear attended the University of Wisconsin where he played on the men's soccer team from 1992 to 1995. In 1995, the Badgers won the NCAA championship as Lamphear was selected as a first team All American.[1] On March 4, 1996, the MetroStars selected Lamphear in the 2nd round (11th overall) of the 1996 MLS College Draft.[2] However, he negotiated with the MetroStars to allow him to finish his degree before joining the team.[3] He graduated in December 1996 with a bachelor's degree in chemical engineering.[4] In 2011, the Badgers inducted Lamphear into the school's Hall of Fame.[5] In the spring of 1997, he joined the MetroStars, but was cut during the preseason.[3] He then played for the Rockford Raptors of the USISL during the 1996 and 1997 seasons and the Chicago Stingers in 1998. In 2011 Lamphear was added to the UW Athletic Hall of Fame.[6]
