Kitchen – who originally hails from Indianapolis — started 25 games for the Zips in 2010, scoring six goals and adding one assist. He earned an All-MAC First Team selection and scored an unassisted goal on a right-footed blast from 30 yards out during Akron’s 2-1 win over Michigan in the national semifinal of the College Cup.[1]

He recorded 4 assists for the season of 2013, which was the record high for the team that year.[1] He was voted D.C. United's Most Valuable Player of the 2013 season.[7] Kitchen's deal with D.C. United expired after the 2015 season.
