CARY, N.C. (Oct. 25, 2017) - Following a weekend where North Carolina FC clinched its spot in the 2017 NASL playoffs after a 1-1 draw with the San Francisco Deltas, Macklin Robinson and James Marcelin were named to the NASL Team of the Week for Week 13 of the Fall Season.

Robinson made his fourth NASL appearance of the season in goal and made six saves, including several acrobatic stops to hold off the Deltas. The selection is a first for Robinson.

Marcelin played a vital role on NCFC's backline. In addition to making a goal-line clearance in the 90th minute, Marcelin won three tackles and three duels and added five clearances and three interceptions to round out his defensive performance. It was his second time making the Team of the Week this season.

The selections mark the 13th week in a row in the Fall Season that a player from North Carolina FC has made the NASL Team of the Week.

North Carolina FC will close out the regular season on Sunday, Oct. 29 as it travels to Indianapolis to face the Indy Eleven at Michael A. Carroll Stadium at 5 p.m.
