CINCINNATI - Sean Okoli scored twice against FC Montreal and was named to the USL Team of the Week for the second time this year.

The forward converted his third penalty kick in the first half after being brought down in the box by a Montreal defender.

He then tucked away a pass from Eric Stevenson early in the second period to notch his first multi-goal game for FCC. Okoli has scored a goal in three of the last four games and is fifth in the USL with seven goals scored.

The win lifts the club's ledger to 7-2-3 in the Eastern Conference, good for third place. FCC looks to improve on a 5-1-2 home record this this Sat., against Toronto FC II. The Orange and Blue posted a 2-1 win in Toronto in April.
