He trained frequently with the Columbus Crew, playing in two MLS Reserve Division games for the team, but never made a senior appearance. He was signed to Columbus's full roster in 2008, but again spent the entire year on the bench, and was waived one week into the 2009 MLS season.[1]

Schoeni signed with Miami FC of the USL First Division in April 2009,[2] and made his debut for the team on June 12, 2009, in a game against the Vancouver Whitecaps.[3]

Schoeni returned to the Crew, for whom he made 5 MLS Reserve Division appearances in 2008, on September 18, 2009, following the conclusion of the 2009 USL season.[4] He made his first MLS start on October 25, 2009, during the Crew's final regular season game, a 1–0 loss to the New England Revolution. Following the game on May 15, 2010, Schoeni retired.[5]
