Chris Seitz started the next two games, put his soccer career on hold and was later named the 2012 award.
Seitz would go on to start the next two games until Hartman was able to play again. Seitz put his soccer career on hold for a brief time in September 2012, despite having no guaranteed contract for the upcoming 2013 season, when he elected to donate bone marrow to save the life of a random stranger for whose bone marrow he was a match. Because of this act, he was later named the 2012 MLS Humanitarian of the Year.
