OKLAHOMA CITY – OKC Energy FC announced on Tuesday it had re-signed goalkeepers CJ Cochran and Jacob Lissek for the 2017 USL season. Both signings are pending league and federation approval.

Cochran joined Energy FC last season and appeared in six games across all competitions and finished with a 2-2-2 record in those games. Cochran played in some of the team’s most intriguing matches, including the win in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup against Mississippi Brilla FC. During that match, he kept a clean sheet and then stopped back-to-back penalty kicks in a shootout with the game on the line and then scored to lead Energy FC to victory. He also started the side’s Fourth Round Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup match against FC Dallas.

“CJ did extremely well for us last year,” said Energy FC Head Coach Jimmy Nielsen. “The games he had to step in for Laurendi, he did a very good job. He’s a very reliable backup. He brings a lot of positive energy to the team; he’s a fantastic guy to have on the roster.”
