Matt Reis (born March 28, 1975 in Atlanta, Georgia) is an American soccer goalkeeper, who currently plays for the New England Revolution of Major League Soccer. Reis played college soccer at UCLA and was selected by the Los Angeles Galaxy in the third and last round of the 1998 MLS College Draft. However, with Kevin Hartman firmly entrenched in the nets, Matt did not see much playing time during his five seasons in LA; the most games he played in a season was 16 in 2001 when Hartman was out with injuries. Reis was traded to the Revolution after the 2002 MLS season for a draft pick. With the Revs, Reis started out as a backup to Adin Brown, but won the starting job midway through the 2004 season. He became the first goalie in MLS history to stop two penalty kicks in one playoff game, doing as the Revs upset the much-favored Columbus Crew.
