TAMPA, Fla. - The USL Championship today announced the Team of the Week for Week 23 of the 2025 regular season, with Louisville City FC midfielder Taylor Davila named Player of the Week presented by Konami eFootball with a goal and an assist in Louisville's top-of-the-table victory against the Charleston Battery.

In front of 13,611 fans - the second-highest attendance in Lynn Family Stadium history and fourth-highest in club history - Davila and LouCity extended their lead atop the Eastern Conference table with a 4-1 thrashing against second-place Charleston. The 25-year-old Davila contributed to the victory with a goal and assist, marking the sixth multi-goal-contribution match of his nearly two-year LouCity career.

"The team had a great first-half performance Saturday, and I was happy to play my role in our success," Davila said. "We pressed collectively, and I knew when I intercepted their central passes that I could play penetrating passes forward and start our transition to attack.

"Everyone knew how crucial this game was in the race for the Players' Shield, and I'm proud of the performance we put on in front of an amazing crowd!"

"I think you've seen it year after year," said Louisville head coach Danny Cruz after the win. "When this stadium is as full as that - two things: one, we take a lot of pride in making sure we're putting a performance together that reflects the community and everyone can enjoy and be proud of. Second, it is really difficult for the opponents to play in that environment.

"Anytime that this place is full like that, we're going to continue to leave our hearts on the field for the fans and do everything we can to put together a performance they can be proud of."
