JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (May 13, 2015) - Jacksonville Armada FC goalkeeper Miguel Gallardo and midfielder Bochy Hoyos were named to the North American Soccer League Team of the Week on Wednesday.

Hoyos scored the Armada FC's goal in their 1-0 victory over Indy Eleven last Saturday in Jacksonville.

Hoyos' goal was nominated for NASL Play of the Week, and http://www.nasl.com/news/2015/05/12/vote--nasl-play-of-the-week fans can vote for the play on NASL.com.
