McCrary Earns Team of the Week Honors

Sacramento Republic FC News Release


Jordan McCrary's defensive efforts and contributions to the team's game winning goal against Portland Timbers 2 on Saturday night earned the Republic FC defender a spot on the USL Championship Team of the Week.

McCrary - who now leads the team in assists with two - set up the squad's second goal of the game when the right back broke Portland's backline with a through ball to Cameron Iwasa, who pushed the Indomitable Club ahead for good.

Not only was McCrary credited with the game-winning assist, but his staunch defensive play helped preserve the club's fourth straight win. He won six of eight duels, recorded two clearances, one interception and led the team with three tackles.

The defender currently leads Sacramento with 20 interceptions on the season and is second on the squad in tackles (21), tackles won (13) and duels won (44). He's also been a force on the offensive end as his seven scoring chances created are tied for the most on the team by a defender alongside Ashkanov Apollon.

McCrary is the Indomitable Club's seventh Team of the Week selection during the 2020 campaign - fourth to the starting eleven TOTW after Formella picked up a pair of honors this season and Ashkanov Apollon being named to his first career selection for Week 8. A trio of SRFC players have been named to the TOTW bench including Juan Barahona for Week 1, Hayden Sargis for Week 7 and Iwasa for Week 8.

Republic FC head North to Portland for the third match in the series against Timbers 2 on Wednesday, September 2. The match will be broadcast locally on KQCA My58 and Estrella TV Sacramento, as well as streamed on ESPN+.
