SACRAMENTO, Calif. - Sacramento Republic FC forward Cameron Iwasa and goalkeeper Josh Cohen were both honored by the United Soccer League today as the pair was named to the 2018 USL All-League Second Team.

The award is Cohen's first all-league selection and Iwasa's second career selection after earning Second Team honors in 2016.

Cohen played every available USL minute with Sacramento (3,150), posting 12 clean sheets on the season and a 0.94 goals-against average. The 26-year-old goalkeeper recorded the second-most saves in the entire league, at 117 saves. He ended the season with a league-leading save percentage of 78.52 among goalkeepers with 40 saves or more. Cohen was named to the USL Team of the Week for Week 10 and earned several nominations for USL Save of the Week, winning three of those in Weeks six, 24 and 26.

Iwasa returned to Republic FC this year after spending the 2017 season with Sporting Kansas City. The Sacramento native broke the club's single-season scoring record (12) previously set by himself in 2016, ending the 2018 season with 17 USL goals and six assists. Iwasa also set the new club all-time USL (30) and all-competition (34) goals records, breaking the previous records set by Rodrigo "RoRo" Lopez. The 25-year-old forward was named the USL Player of the Week for Week 18 and took home the USL Goal of the Week prize in Week 2.

The 2018 USL All-League Team was voted on by club management and a league-wide media panel that included representation from every USL market.
