(Apr. 14, 2026) Tampa, Fla. – Indy Eleven midfielder Jack Blake and defender Anthony Herbert have been selected to the USL Championship “Team of the Week” after helping the Boys in Blue extend their unbeaten streak to four with a 3-1 victory over Monterey Bay FC on Saturday at Carroll Stadium.
Blake became the club’s all-time leader in goals with his 28th on a bicycle kick in the 55th minute. The fourth-year Indy Eleven player broke a tie with Eamon Zayed (2016-17) with the game-winning goal that put his team ahead 2-1. The Nottingham, England, native has scored three goals in three matches in all competitions this season, increasing his career total in USL-C play to 44. He is tied for 13th in the league in goals this season with two in two games, and he ranks fifth in franchise history with 103 appearances in all competitions. This is the 13th time in his Boys in Blue career that Blake has earned “Team of the Week” honors.
Captain Aodhan Quinn set up the record-breaking score with a corner kick into the area that defender Paco Craig headed on goal. The ball caromed off the head of Monterey Bay goalkeeper Fernando Delgado high into the air. Blake established position inside the far post and delivered a bicycle kick into the back of the net.
The 6’4 Herbert played a brilliant header in the midfield past the back line off a goal kick to record his first Boys in Blue assist and set up forward Loïc Mesanvi’s first USL-C goal in the 68th minute. The Brooklyn, New York, native led the team in chances created (3) and blocks (2) and added eight clearances while winning 5-5 duels.
On the season, Herbert is tied for 15th in the USL-C in blocks (4) and he is second on the team in clearances (20). He has started and played the full 90 in the past three matches.
Herbert is in his third year in the USL-C after starting his pro career with FC Haka in Finland’s top division in 2022-23. He is a Trinidad International who made his National Team debut in September of 2022 after playing collegiately at St. John’s.
