In just his second start of the season, Louisville City FC defender Enrique Montano made enough of an impact to land a spot on the United Soccer League's Team of the Week.

Montano on Tuesday led a pair of defensive players recognized by the league, as goalkeeper Greg Ranjitsingh also earned a mention on the bench after posting a 1-0, shutout victory at Rochester. The Rhinos entered on a 24-match home unbeaten streak in USL fixtures dating back to August of 2014.

In addition to helping along the back line, Montano took charge on throws and set pieces against the Rhinos in his return to the Starting XI. In all, the California native has logged 278 minutes in five appearances this season.
