Hoping to strengthen its defense, the Salsa signed two defenders, Danny Pena and Lawrence Lozzano, Tuesday on the final day roster moves were permitted in the American Professional Soccer League.

Pena and Lozzano play for the San Francisco Bay Blackhawks and are being loaned by the team for the rest of the season. They played two seasons with the Blackhawks, who dropped their APSL affiliation after last season, and helped the team to the league title in 1991.

Pena, 25, was a first-team All-APSL selection in 1991. Lozzano, 22, is a natural defender but might also play midfielder for the Salsa.
