A pair of goal contributors from a 2-0 win at Indy Eleven and 4-1 win over Memphis 901 FC - Cameron Lancaster and Brian Ownby - both cemented spots among the league's best 11 players announced Tuesday.

Lancaster, who registered goal Nos. 49-51 for his career with LouCity across all competitions, also tallied an assist last week. His scoring strikes included a volleyed rebound to put the boys in purple ahead at Indy and a nifty back-heeled goal in the second half of the Memphis win at Lynn Family Stadium.

A forward from England, Lancaster likewise reached 50 regular-season USL goals. Among the select group of players to reach that milestone, he's scoring at the most effluent rate, according to USL Director of Content Nicholas Murray, with a goal every 114.8 minutes played.

Ownby, who came off the bench in Indy, played a soft touch in behind the defense and to Corben Bone for a goal that doubled the lead late. As a starter against Memphis, he scored his first goal of the season on a curling shot from distance and assisted Lancaster's opening goal.
