this article has some pretty good tweets in the article https://www.prosoccerusa.com/mls/watch-wil-trapp-stoppage-time-stunner-gives-columbus-crew-win-over-orlando-city/

Congratulations to Ezana Kahsay for being selected to the PDL team of the week https://www.topdrawersoccer.com/college-soccer-articles/pdl-conference-teams-of-the-week-7-18_aid44373

Congratulations to Aodhan Quinn https://www.uslsoccer.com/news_article/show/934815

I don;t think that I have posted this article so many...articles featuring JLew https://www.mlssoccer.com/post/2018/07/14/lewis-patience-pays-another-successful-supersub-shift-nycfc

this has a great 55 second video...that almost exclusively talks about JLew https://www.mlssoccer.com/post/2018/07/16/best-week-ever-nycfc-thrilled-after-3-solid-home-victories-7-days

Kofi looks young !!!

this shows JLew's assist

JLew played 35 minutes last night and had an assist https://www.nycfc.com/post/2018/07/14/five-things-party-city When the goal came, it was thanks to a heavy contribution from second half substitute Jonathan Lewis, who has helped make the difference in each of our three wins this week. This time, Jonathan had the presence of mind to take the two extra touches which gave him the time and space to pick out Jesus Medina, after his initial shot had come back off the post. It was his longest run-out under Torrent, who will really feel like he has an ace up his sleeve with the dynamic young American who is reliably contributing assists and goals in his cameos

Ezana had a good game and shows up several times in article and in photo gallery http://www.readingeagle.com/sports/article/soccer-reading-united-rallies-to-beat-lehigh-valley

https://www.uslsoccer.com/news_article/show/934120 USLSoccer.com Man of the Match Adam Najem, Bethlehem Steel FC – Najem scored a fine equalizer and recorded four key passes as Bethlehem looked the more threatening of the teams to take all three points on home turf.

Z.I.P. and Marc from Santa Barbara will like this change...as they will be able to see game on pac 12 network will be good publicity for the zips...might help them with west coast recruits A @ZipsMSoc schedule change to pass along, the Zips' contest at Washington on Sept. 9 will now begin at 7:30 p.m. ET (4:30 p.m. PT) and will be broadcast on the Pac-12 Networks

another good article on JLew https://www.frontrowsoccer.com/2018/07/12/making-more-of-an-impact-lewis-staying-focused-coming-off-bench-helping-nycfc-attack/

Butler is counting down the days until they start the season with a loss at Akron

congratulations to Ezana and Marco...both were selected to the PDL team of the week (I would be remiss if I also did not say that I am also happy for Jesus "Chino" Perez...only at Akron for a semester...but I continue to wish this young man well). great job by Marco and Ezana https://www.topdrawersoccer.com/college-soccer-articles/pdl-conference-teams-of-the-week-7-4_aid44327
