TAMPA, Fla. – Lexington SC forward Ates Diouf was named to the USL League One Week 18 Team of the Week Bench, the league office announced Tuesday.
The honor marked the second consecutive week in which Diouf was the only Lexington SC athlete to feature in the Team of the Week.
Playing CV Fuego FC on the road on Saturday, Lexington SC ultimately fell 2-1, remaining at 10th in the league standings while Fuego improved to 11th.
Diouf was the lone goal scorer for Lexington in the loss, finding the net in the 62nd minute off an assist by Owen Green.
Diouf is no stranger to the USL League One Team of the Week list even beyond the Week 17 honor, being named Player of the Week in week 12 when he recorded the first ever brace in club history against NC Hailstorm FC.
Lexington SC will look to snap its losing streak when it returns home to face Union Omaha at Toyota Stadium in Georgetown, Ky., on July 22.
