MEMPHIS, Tenn. - Defender Mark Segbers, midfielder Laurent Kissiedou and goalkeeper Brady Scott have been named to the USL Championship Team of the Week presented by Cleer Audio for Week 28. Segbers' goal against Tulsa along with Kissiedou's pair of assists and Scott's clean sheet against Indy propelled the trio to the recognition.

Kissiedou's assists on Murphy and Fortune's goals position him at third place in club history with five assists in a single season. Scott's three saves would preserve a scoreless match for the Memphis defense and earn the 22-year-old 'keeper his first clean sheet of the year.

"This is a really tight group," Mark Segbers said after the victory over Tulsa. "I think our bond as a team shows when we go down a goal, we pick each other right back up. It's the same when we win. We're a bunch of brothers out there, and we're just enjoying every moment together."
