Indy Eleven News Release
TAMPA/INDIANAPOLIS - Indy Eleven placed two players on the USL Championship Team of the Week for their efforts in the season opener at Oakland Roots SC this past Saturday, league officials announced Tuesday.
Jack Blake and Younes Boudadi cracked the first XI of the season, making the Boys in Blue the only squad with two players on the list.
Indy Eleven's preseason goal leader Blake continued the scoring in match one of the regular season, grabbing the initial equalizer in the 43rd minute of action. In 90 minutes of action, Blake led the Indy attack with a match-high six total shots, including a pair on frame. Defensively, Blake won a team-high 11 of 16 duels contested and notched 12 recoveries.
This is Blake's second nod from the league since joining the Eleven, picking up a bench selection in week 14 of the 2023 regular season.
Boudadi, who assisted on Blake's goal, led or shared the team lead in interceptions (3) and tackles won (2) in 75 total minutes. Boudadi completed 81% (34/42) of his passes, created four chances and won six duels.
No stranger to weekly honors, Boudadi earned a pair of USL Team of the Week accolades (Week 9, Week 26) in 2023, while adding a pair of bench selections (Week 23, Week 25).
Bench: Alex Tambakis (NM), Bryan Tamacas (OAK), Akeem Ward (MEM), Jeciel Cedeno (OAK), Aaron Molloy (CHS), Andrew Booth (MIA), Nighte Pickering (MEM)
Indy travels to Memphis 901 FC Saturday for a 4 p.m. kickoff with action streaming on ESPN+.
