Last Time at Birmingham
Midfielder Cam Lindley scored on a laser from 25 yards out in the fourth minute and the Boys in Blue defense recorded a clean sheet for a 1-0 road victory at USL Championship Eastern Conference rival Birmingham Legion FC on June 4.
Midfielder James Murphy started the scoring sequence with a feed into captain Aodhan Quinn in the midfield. Quinn sent it wide to defender Finn McRobb who delivered a cross into the area that deflected off midfielder Jack Black outside the area where Lindley fired it into the bottom left corner just inside the post. Lindley’s goal the fifth in his USLC career. Blake’s assist is his 23rd in the USL Championship.
Goalkeeper Hunter Sulte made five saves to record his 10th clean sheet as a member of the Boys in Blue. The 23-year-old Sulte made an outstanding save, diving to his right on a shot by Tabort Etaka Preston in the final minute of second half stoppage time to preserve the victory. In the 17th minute, Sulte dove to his left to save a shot from former Indy Eleven forward Tyler Pasher. Birmingham had a good scoring chance in the 56th minute when Ronaldo Damus’ shot hit the left post and the rebound shot by Enzo Martinez just missed. In the 86th, Sulte punched a dangerous cross from Erik Centeno out of harm’s way.

Blake & Herbert USL Championship “Team of the Week”
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.
Indy Eleven has had five different players earn USL-C “Team of the Week” in five games this season.

Boys in Blue Extend Unbeaten Streak to Four
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.
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 Loïc 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.
Defender Paco Craig became the USL-C all-time leader in clearances with 989, breaking a tie with Forrest Lasso. Craig also is the all-time leader in aerial duels won (726), and he is fourth all-time in blocks (174), duels won (1,246), and interceptions (331).
