LouCity's Bone Scores Two, Makes USL Team of the Week
August 25, 2020 - United Soccer League Championship (USL)
Louisville City FC News Release
On the heels of a breakout, two-goal performance, Louisville City FC midfielder Corben Bone was on Tuesday named to the USL Championship's Team of the Week.
Bone, who brought prior USL and Major League Soccer experience to LouCity's roster for the 2020 season, connected on a pair of first half shots in last week's 4-1 win over Sporting KC II.
The 31-year-old Texan also tallied two key passes, completed 33 of 45 passes overall won seven of 11 duels. In the process, LouCity extended its unbeaten run of games to three and registered back-to-back victories.
Bone's Team of the Week appearance is the first for the boys in purple since the USL restarted play. Back in March, goalkeeper Ben Lundt was recognized after posting a clean sheet in the club's season-opening win at North Carolina FC.
