TAMPA, Fla. – USL League One today announced the Team of the Week for Week 7 of the 2025 regular season, with Westchester SC midfielder Noah Powder named Player of the Week presented by Konami eFootball with three goal contributions in a 4-4 draw against the Richmond Kickers.

The Trinidad and Tobago international and two-time USL Championship title-winner exploded for the second three-goal-contribution match of his decade-long professional career, scoring Westchester's opening goal in the eighth minute before providing assists on second-half goals from his brother, Samory, as well as Conor McGlynn.

Noah Powder's assist on Samory Powder's goal in the 53rd minute marked the second time in league history a pair of brothers have connected for a joint goal participation (Arturo/David Rodriguez (NTX), 2019). The Powder brothers are just the fifth pair of brothers to suit up as teammates in a League One match, and the first pair of brothers to be named to the USL League One Team of the Week in the same week.

The honor marks the second time Powder has been named Player of the Week, with the first instance coming in Week 23 of the 2023 USL League One season when he also recorded one goal and two assists in a single match.

"I'm honored to be named Player of the Week; it is a testament to how hard the team has been working," Powder said. "I'm hoping to continue my form to help my team throughout the season."
