He played [college soccer](/source/College_soccer_in_the_United_States) at the [University of Virginia](/source/University_of_Virginia), where he scored 34 career goals and accumulated 15 assists. During his college years Cristman also played for the [Richmond Strikers](/source/Richmond_Strikers) and [Richmond Kickers Future](/source/Richmond_Kickers_Future) in the [USL Premier Development League](/source/USL_Premier_Development_League). ### Professional Cristman was selected in the fourth round of the [2007 MLS SuperDraft](/source/2007_MLS_SuperDraft) by [New England Revolution](/source/New_England_Revolution) and signed a [developmental contract](/source/Developmental_contract) with the club. He began his debut season as a starter with [Pat Noonan](/source/Pat_Noonan) out with injury, and later settled into a role as a regular sub and spot starter, appearing in almost every game of the season. His solid play quickly earned him a bump up to the senior roster in midseason.[1] After the 2008 season, Cristman was traded to [Kansas City Wizards](/source/Kansas_City_Wizards) for allocation money and a third round [2009 MLS SuperDraft](/source/2009_MLS_SuperDraft) selection.[2] On July 25, 2009, after being plagued by injury for the first few months of the year, he made his debut coming on as a second-half sub in an MLS game against LA Galaxy. In February 2010, [D.C. United](/source/D.C._United) acquired Cristman from Kansas City in exchange for use of an [international roster slot](/source/MLS_International_Roster_Slots) through December 31, 2011.[3] On January 11, 2011, Cristman was traded to [Los Angeles Galaxy](/source/Los_Angeles_Galaxy) in exchange for the Galaxy's first-round pick in the [2011 MLS Supplemental Draft](/source/2011_MLS_Supplemental_Draft).[4] After an extended layoff while he recovered from a knee injury, Cristman made his Galaxy debut on June 3, 2011, as a late substitute in a 0–0 tie with [D.C. United](/source/D.C._United). He signed a new contract with Los Angeles on December 23, 2011.[5] On July 3, 2012, Cristman retired from professional soccer due to injuries (multiple concussions).[6] ### International Cristman has played for the US national U-18 and U-23 teams. ## Honors ### New England Revolution - **[Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup](/source/Lamar_Hunt_U.S._Open_Cup) (1):** [2007](/source/2007_Lamar_Hunt_U.S._Open_Cup) - **[North American SuperLiga](/source/North_American_SuperLiga) (1):** [2008](/source/2008_North_American_SuperLiga) ### Los Angeles Galaxy - **[MLS Cup](/source/MLS_Cup) (1):** [2011](/source/2011_Major_League_Soccer_season) - **[Major League Soccer](/source/Major_League_Soccer) Supporters' Shield (1):** [2011](/source/2011_Major_League_Soccer_season) - **[Major League Soccer](/source/Major_League_Soccer) Western Conference Championship (1):** [2011](/source/2011_Major_League_Soccer_season) ## References 1. **[^](#cite_ref-1)** ["Cristman Elevated to Revolution's Senior Roster"](http://www.revolutionsoccer.net/search/index.cfm?ac=searchdetail&pid=27700&pcid=115).
