Edwin Cerrillo (NTX), #NTXvOMA, 8/23/20: Cerrillo took a touch to settle a Union Omaha clearance before smacking a stinging shot from 35 yards out that beat goalkeeper Rashid Nuhu in the 2-2 draw in Arlington.     

Devin Boyce (OMA), #OMAvTUC, 8/29/20: Boyce ran onto Elma N’For’s knock down inside the penalty area and cleverly curled a volley with the outside of his right boot, beating Carlos Merancio at his far post to score his first professional goal.

Noah Pilato (GVL), 8/22/20: Pilato connected perfectly with a half volley from the top of the 18-yard box, scoring the game’s only goal in fantastic fashion to help Greenville earn a third consecutive win with a 1-0 result over Fort Lauderdale CF.
