The deal came together rather quickly, as Josh Bauer (Bedford, N.H.) describes it.
He was training with Revolution II, the New England Revolution's team in USL League One, a few weeks after the University of New Hampshire’s bid for a third straight America East championship was postponed to next spring due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The reserve side represented a nearby, logical opportunity for the two-time All-American center back, though another offer emerged one division up from the USL Championship's Birmingham Legion FC.
