Indianapolis – Reigning USL Championship “Player of the Week” Augi Williams continued his scoring run with two goals to lead the host Boys in Blue in a 2-2 draw vs. Louisville City FC on Saturday night at Carroll Stadium.
Augi became the first Indy Eleven player in franchise history to score five goals in consecutive matches, coming off his hat trick vs. Miami FC on September 28. He leads the Eleven with 10 goals this season, his third consecutive campaign with double-digit goals.
The 27-year-old Williams passed teammate Sebastian Guenzatti to climb into fifth on the USL Championship all-time list with 76 career goals in league history.
In stoppage time of the first half, Williams took a precise diagonal pass from Maalique Foster, brought it back with his right foot, and turned to finish just inside the left post to tie the match at 1-1. It is Foster’s fifth assist this season.
The Boys in Blue took a 2-1 lead in the 68th minute on Augi’s second goal of the night. Captain Aodhan Quinn started the scoring sequence with a long ball up the left side to Douglas Martinez, who quickly headed it to Jack Blake. Blake bent a left-footed cross that Williams finished with a sliding touch. Blake now has four assists on the campaign.
Louisville tied it in the fourth minute of second half stoppage time when sub Jake Morris scored.
Goalie Hunter Sulte recorded five saves in goal on the night, improving his season total to 62.
The Boys in Blue are 12-10-8 with 44 points, good for sixth in the Eastern Conference with four regular-season games remaining.
Indy Eleven travels to Loudoun United FC for its final midweek game of the regular season on Tuesday at 7 p.m. on ESPN+.
