TAMPA - A goal and an assist at Swope Park Rangers last Saturday earned midfielder Lebo Moloto a spot on the USL Championship Team of the Week for Week 22. His assist was his eighth of the regular season, making him the Eastern Conference leader in assists. Additionally, his goal was the 25th of his career and 10th for Nashville SC.

Moloto's performance stood out in Saturday's match as he faced his former team alongside Kharlton Belmar, another former Ranger. The pair connected seven times during the 90 minutes including Belmar's assist to Moloto in the 43' minute. Moloto made four key passes and completed 42 of 54 passes overall.

The Week 22 recognition for Moloto marks Nashville SC's sixth player to make Team of the Week in 2019. Moloto joins Ken Tribbett (2x), Daniel Ríos, Matt Pickens, Kosuke Kimura and Alan Winn. It's the 13th time overall that a player has been honored by a spot on the Team or the bench from Nashville SC this season.
