Last Meeting (7/12/25)
Two of the top scorers in USLC history combined for a goal and the Indy Eleven defense recorded its fourth clean sheet in six matches as the Boys in Blue defeated Rhode Island FC 1-0 at Carroll Stadium on July 12.
Indy Eleven moved up to sixth in the USLC Eastern Conference, finishing the first half of the season with four wins in six matches.
Cam Lindley started the scoring sequence in the 55th minute with a one-touch pass from just across midfield to Jack Blake. Blake settled it quickly and delivered a pass wide to captain Aodhan Quinn. From just outside the area on the left side, Quinn centered it to the penalty spot where Romario Williams finished it inside the left post for his fourth goal of the season and the 64th in his USLC career.
Williams has scored in three consecutive USLC matches (May 28, July 5, July 12) around his time with the Jamaican National Team in World Cup Qualifying and the Gold Cup. His longest USLC scoring streak is five from Sept. 23, 2023-March 9, 2024.
Williams is tied for the team lead in goals this season and he moved up into a tie for 14th on the USL All-Time list.
Quinn recorded his team-best sixth assist of the campaign and he moved into sole possession of third place all-time in the USLC with 56 career assists.
Quinn’s six assists place are one behind the current lead for the USL Championship’s Golden Playmaker award, trailing Charleston Battery’s Juan David Torres with seven.
The 33-year-old has twice previously recorded double-digit assists in a season, logging 14 in the 2018 campaign for Orange County SC and 11 in 2021 for Phoenix Rising FC. He is 10 assists from Kenardo Forbes’ 66 assists for the all-time regular season mark in the Championship.
Goalkeeper Hunter Sulte recorded his second consecutive clean sheet and his fourth this season. It marks the fourth time in his two-year career with the Boys in Blue that he has recorded consecutive shutouts in USLC play. He now has 13 clean sheets in 40 matches for Indy Eleven.

Blake & Sulte “Team of the Week”
Midfielder Jack Blake and goalkeeper Hunter Sulte have earned USL Championship “Team of the Week” honors after helping the Boys in Blue to a key road victory at Hartford Athletic last week.
For Blake, it is the fourth time in 2025 and the 12th time in the past two seasons that he has gotten this recognition. Sulte is a two-time “Team of the Week” selection this year and a four-time pick in his two-year Indy Eleven career. The Boys in Blue have had nine different players named to the Team of the Week/Team of the Round this season.
Blake scored goals in road matches at Hartford Athletic and Charleston Battery last week, giving him scores in three of the team’s last four USLC games. At Hartford on Wednesday in the third minute, Blake played a ball from the air down in the left side of the area and uncorked a left-footed strike into the bottom right corner of the net for the game-winning goal. That score is a nominee for the “Goal of the Week”, his second nomination for that award in the past three weeks.
At Charleston on Saturday, defender Ben Ofeimu headed a ball to Blake, who then volleyed it into the right corner of the net for his second highlight-reel goal of the week. It is Blake’s team-high ninth goal this season, one shy of his career-best 10 for the Boys in Blue in 2024. The goal is Blake’s 24th in three years playing for Indy Eleven, tying the franchise mark for most goals in the USL Championship era (2018-) with Tyler Pasher (2018-20). The Nottingham, England, native has 41 career goals in USLC regular-season play.
In 2025, Blake leads the Boys in Blue in goals (9), shots (37), shots on target (19), and fouls won (35). In this week’s USLC stats, Blake is tied for eighth in shots, tied for 10th in goals, and tied for 16th in assists (4).
The 30-year-old Blake was named to the Team of the Week after recording his sixth career brace vs. Miami FC on August 23. He was the USLC “Player of the Week” on July 8 after recording a goal and an assist vs. Monterey Bay FC. He started the 2025 campaign with USLC “Team of the Week” honors after a goal and an assist at Miami FC on March 15. Blake earned USL Jägermeister Cup “Team of the Round” recognition after scoring an impressive goal at Forward Madison FC on April 26.
The versatile Blake is ranked among Indy Eleven career leaders in the USLC era (2018-) in all eight categories. He leads in PKs made (10) and attempted (10) and is second in goals (22) and points (53), fourth in assists (9), and fifth in games played (80), starts (72), and minutes played (6,043).
Blake is the 19th player to record at least 40 goals and 25 assists in the Championship’s regular season history.

Sulte and starter Reice Charles-Cook combined for the team’s fifth clean sheet of the season at Hartford Athletic on Wednesday. The 23-year-old Sulte came on in the second half for his first action since the USL Jägermeister Cup quarter-final on August 20. He was tested immediately, stopping forward Michee Ngalina in the 48th and again with a diving save to his left in the 51st. In the 55th minute, Sulte made a reaction save on Samuel Careaga’s close-range effort, with the rebound attempt by Careaga just missing wide. Sulte made his five saves in the first 22 minutes of the second half to record his most stops in a match since July 18 at North Carolina FC.
At Charleston on Saturday, Sulte made five saves to improve his season total to 58, good for fifth in the USLC. Sulte’s back-to-back stops in the 74th minute were nominated for the “Save of the Week”. He is tied for 12th in clean sheets with four in 2025.
In his two-year Indy Eleven career, the Anchorage, Alaska, native has 131 saves for the most in the team’s USL Championship era (2018-). The 6’7 Sulte also tops the franchise USLC list in career shutouts with 13.

Pruter acquired on loan from Columbus Crew 2
Indy Eleven acquired Columbus Crew 2 goalkeeper Luke Pruter on loan for the remainder of the season. The transaction was completed prior to the USLC Roster Freeze on Monday.
The 24-year-old Pruter started 13 matches for Columbus Crew 2 in MLS NEXT Pro this season. He recorded 54 saves, 16 interceptions, five clearances, and 21 long balls in 2025. The 6’5 Pruter made three saves to earn a clean sheet vs. Carolina Core FC on June 28. He recorded a season-best seven stops against Chicago Fire FC II on Aug. 3.
Pruter joined Crew 2 after his selection in the 2024 MLS SuperDraft as the 87th overall pick.
The Redondo Beach, California, native appeared in 53 matches (51 starts) during his four-year career at UC Irvine. He recorded 4,667 minutes, 166 saves and 14 shutouts for the Anteaters.
Pruter finished his collegiate career on UCI’s goalkeeper top-10 all-time list with 19 wins (6th), 14 shutouts (T 3rd), 166 saves (8th) and a 1.35 goals against average (9th) in 53 matches (T5th).
As a junior in 2023, Pruter earned All-Far West Region and All-Big West Conference second-team honors, recording eight shutouts and making 51 saves with a 1.04 goals against average.
He made a career-high 13 saves at Stanford as a freshman, tied for the second-most in a game in program history.
Pruter played club soccer for L.A. Galaxy Academy, LA Galaxy II, and Barca Academy.
Zalinsky acquired on loan from MLS St. Louis CITY
Indy Eleven acquired St. Louis CITY SC defender Joey Zalinsky on loan for the remainder of the season on Monday.
The 22-year-old Zalinsky made nine appearances in the MLS in 2025, including his debut against Sporting Kansas City on May 14. The 2025 MLS SuperDraft pick made his first MLS start against San Jose Earthquakes in CITY SC’s 2-1 win on May 31.
Zalinsky scored a goal in his professional debut in St. Louis’ 2-0 U.S. Open Cup Round of 32 win over Union Omaha on May 7. Zalinsky rocketed a spectacular volley from outside the box to the bottom left corner of the goal to put St. Louis on top, scoring the game-winning goal.
Zalinsky has also made 11 appearances for the club’s MLS NEXT Pro affiliate CITY2.
The Brick Township, New Jersey, native was selected in the second round of the MLS SuperDraft (37 overall) after his collegiate career at Rutgers. A two-year captain, Zalinsky led the Scarlet Knights back line throughout his four-year career (2021-24). In 59 appearances, he scored two goals and added two assists, consistently shutting down the opposition’s biggest threats as one of the top defenders in the Big Ten.
The 5’10 Zalinsky came up through the New York Red Bulls Academy pipeline. A member of the Red Bulls from 2016-21, Zalinsky debuted for the Red Bulls II squad in the USL Championship in September 2020, making 17 appearances with the team as a 17-year-old.
Zalinsky played 20 USLC games for Red Bulls II, starting 19 and logging 1,714 minutes. He recorded 73 clearances, 51 interceptions, 11 blocks, 36 tackles won, 33 fouls won, 128 duels won, 37 aerial duels won.
