Nashville SC News Release


NASHVILLE - After an inaugural season that saw multiple records set both on and off the field, Nashville Soccer Club celebrated on Wednesday night at the "Taste of Nashville SC" with food, drink and end of the season awards.

The trophies, made up of a guitar headstock, were awarded to Nashville SC's Young Player of the Year, Defensive Player of the Year, Offensive Player of the Year, and Most Valuable Player. There was also a Community Service Award given out as well as a FAN-tastic moment of the season that the fans voted on.

Ropapa Mensah took home the night's first honor as the Young Player of the Year after he scored six goals and added five assists in his age 20 season. Defensive Player of the Year went to the Isle of Man native Liam Doyle after a year that will see Nashville SC finish near the top of the league in every defensive category.

The Offensive Player of the Year award was given to Lebo Moloto for his play at the No. 10 role in the SC attack. Moloto has appeared on the scoresheet more than any other player with seven goals and five assists. To the surprise of no one, keeper Matt Pickens won the Most Valuable Player Award for his leadership and consistently masterful play throughout the season.

Taylor Washington won the Community Service Award for his work at community events throughout the season. Washington has built a strong bond with Nashville and especially the young soccer fans in the city.

The FAN-tastic moment of the season went to Mensah, Bradley Bourgeois and Michael Reed for their role in Mensah's last second game-winner against North Carolina FC earlier this season.

Nashville SC will play its final game of the season on Saturday night at First Tennessee Park against FC Cincinnati with a chance to clinch a playoff spot. Tickets are still available at NashvilleSC.com/tickets.
