Indianapolis – Indy Eleven extended its current USL Championship unbeaten streak to four (2-0-2) and its unbeaten run at home to six (5-0-1) dating back to last season with a 3-1 victory over Monterey Bay FC in front of 9,101 fans at Carroll Stadium.
Boys in Blue midfielder Jack 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 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.
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.
Veteran midfielder Cam Lindley moved into the USL-C Top 20 all-time in assists by setting up the first Boys in Blue goal in the 14th minute. The Carmel native played a phenomenal through-ball from midfield to forward Bruno Rendon, who made a fantastic run from the wide right flank across the back line and delivered a classy finish for his team-high third goal in five games this season. Lindley, who leads Indy Eleven with two assists on the campaign, is tied for 19th all-time with 32 career assists in USL-C play.
Forward Loic Mesanvi recorded his first USL-C goal in the 68th minute to seal the victory. Defender Anthony Herbert played a brilliant header in the midfield off a goal kick past the back line to the speedy Mesanvi, who chested it down and took his time before finishing inside the far post.

Quotes
Coach Sean McAuley
On tonight’s match
“Really pleased for the players and for everybody that came to see us get a result. We thoroughly deserved the win. The resilience of the group was good. I’m proud of the way that they dug in and got the result.”
On the defensive line and Eric Dick
“Our two center backs (Paco Craig and Anthony Herbert) were outstanding because they never gave the opposition cheap chances–they didn’t make mistakes. They cleared the ball when it needed to be cleared. They gave themselves good positions to keep possession, especially in the first half. And Eric is Eric–you know he’s going to come up with big saves when we need him.”
On Jack Blake breaking the club’s goal record:
“I’m really pleased that he’s got that record. He’ll get more goals in his time here, so that’s going to be something that stands for a longer time. He’s been excellent every week, he does the job, he’s fit, he’s good with the ball, and he is skilled.”
On Loic Mesanvi, Noble Okello, & Bruno Rendon
All three of them provide a threat. I’m pleased that Bruno is on a goal scoring run–that is good for us. Noble was good with his link up play. When Noble drops a little deeper to keep possession, it allows space for Bruno and Loic to get in and for both to get goals.”
Jack Blake
On being the Indy Eleven All-Time Goals Leader
“It’s a proud moment. When I came to the club, I wanted to accomplish things collectively and individually, so hopefully the trophy collectively is next.”
On his goal
“It was a great delivery from Quinny (on a corner kick) and a good header by Paco at the front post. Their keeper made a great save, and it went off his head up into the air. I tried to get to the right side of my man and fortunately I did.”
On Mesanvi and Rendon
“There aren’t many left or right backs in the league that want to play against us now. Those two are a huge outlet for us, especially when we’re under pressure. We want to hit teams on the counterattack. Those two allow us to do that, and for us attacking players underneath, it creates so much space for us to play because they’re pushing their defense back. I’m happy for Loic to get his goal. Bruno’s continuing his form–he’s been superb this year.”
On the addition of Mesanvi
“He’s a real threat. He’s a young, hungry player who works hard. He’s come into the group and shown that he works hard first, and he’s earned respect from the group. That is the culture of the team that we set. We make sure that everyone’s a good person off the field, and that they integrate into the group. He lets his feet do the talking, and he’s an exciting player to play with.”
Loic Mesanvi
On his first USL Championship goal
As soon as (Anthony) Herbert had it, I knew I had to turn my jets on and put in the back of the net. It feels amazing. I have great guys around to motivate me to push for the next one.”
On coming to Indy and becoming a starter
“Coming in, my focus was to work my butt off to get into the starting 11. I will continue working to help the team in any way that I can.”
On playing with Jack Blake:
“We have pace up top–it’s one of our strongest suits. Jack Blake is amazing. I always try to find him and play off him–our chemistry continues to get better.”
