TAMPA, Fla. – USL League One today announced the Team of the Week for Week 16 of the 2022 regular season with Greenville Triumph SC forward Jacob Labovitz named Player of the Week.

Since scoring his first professional goal on May 28, the first-year professional has exploded for a league-high 10 goals thanks in large part to a spectacular five-score Week 16 that set the record as the most goals scored by a single player in one week in league history. Now leading the Golden Boot race, Labovitz’s quick ascension has helped Greenville maintain its position atop the league table.

Greenville started the week with a thrilling 5-5 draw with South Georgia on Wednesday to record both the club record for most goals scored in a single match and league record for combined goals scored. Labovitz stood out as one of two Triumph SC players to record a brace and an assist.

Continuing his impressive debut season, Labovitz guided Greenville to a 3-1 win over Richmond on Saturday with his first professional hat trick. Labovitz’s three-goal outing is just the second time in league history that a first-year professional recorded a hat trick and the first since Ricardo Pepi tallied a hat trick in North Texas SC’s inaugural match on March 30, 2019.

While Greenville lead all clubs with three players named to the Team of the Week, Forward Madison FC and South Georgia Tormenta FC each placed two on the weekly list. In total, seven clubs see representation on Week 16's Team of the Week.
