TACOMA, WASH. - Tacoma Defiance defender Jackson Ragen has been named to the Week 18 USL Championship Team of the Week. The Sounders FC Academy product shined in the club's 3-0 win over Orange County SC, where he opened his Defiance account by scoring the first goal of the night and helped the backline get a clean sheet in the process. This is the third time a Tacoma Defiance defender has been named to the USL Championship Team of the Week, with Issa Rayyan being named to the Week Four Team of the Week and Abdoulaye Cissoko getting the nod in Week Three.
