O'Connor, meanwhile, has both Goodwin and rookie Tim Dobrowolski to consider between the posts Saturday.  FC Montreal sits at the bottom of the USL's Eastern Conference table after struggling to open the season but has won its last four games, most recently posting a 4-3 victory over rival Toronto FC II.

"Things have been terrific at Harvard, and I'm loving every minute so far," Goodwin said. "But I'm very excited to have the opportunity to join the guys again this weekend. This team is beyond special to me, and I look forward to doing whatever I can to help the team battle for a win in Montreal."

A product of his home-state University of North Carolina, Goodwin signed with LouCity in 2015. His goals-against average ranked second-best in the USL, and he started 30 games across all competitions.

This year, Goodwin opened the season in goal before yielding to Ranjitsingh after being sent off in Louisville's 2-2 draw April 27 against the Pittsburgh Riverhounds. He announced intentions to attend Harvard in May and went out in style in what was intended to be his final game, making three saves down the stretch of a 2-0 win on July 4 against Montreal.
