Indianapolis – Indy Eleven moved up two places in the USL Championship Eastern Conference table with a 4-0 victory over Brooklyn FC at Carroll Stadium. The Boys in Blue have used a 3-1-3 run in their past seven games to climb into sixth in the standings with seven games remaining in the regular season.
Indy Eleven stalwarts Jack Blake and Bruno Rendon combined for three goals and three assists to lead the attack. Blake celebrated his 16th selection to the USL-C “Team of the Week” as a Boys in Blue player earlier in the day with his seventh career brace. The franchise all-time goal leader (32) now has six goals this season (second on the team behind Rendon) and 48 in his USL-C career, good for a tie for 38th on the league all-time list. The last Indy Eleven player to score two goals in a USL-C match was Rendon on October 18, 2025 vs. Loudoun United FC.
Blake added his fourth assist of the season and the 29th of his career in the 48th minute on Edward Kizza’s third goal of the campaign and the 23rd in league play in his career.
Rendon recorded two assists in the match for the first time in his USL-C career, setting up both of Blake’s goals. He scored his team-high ninth goal in league play and his team-best 11th in all competitions in 2026 off Josh O’Brien’s second assist of 2026. The last Indy Eleven player to record two assists in a match was Elliot Collier vs. Miami on September 28, 2024.
Goalkeeper Eric Dick recorded his 36th career clean sheet, moving into a tie for 13th on the USL-C all-time list.
The 4-0 margin of victory ties the best in Indy Eleven franchise history with three previous 4-0 scores: 9/28/24 vs. Miami, 8/9/23 vs. Birmingham Legion, and 6/2/23 at Charleston Battery.

Quotes
Sean McAuley
Jack’s performance tonight
“His ability to get the late runs into the box and pull really quickly and then calm himself down is really good technique onto the ball.”
Substitution management
“We kept asking the players, hoping that a few of them would volunteer to come out, so we made the changes a little bit easier. They all wanted to keep playing, so we made the decision.”
Jack Blake
Playing with Bruno
“He’s a real threat for us. Teams fear him. They don’t want to press too tight because they know that the threat is behind.”
What does this win mean
“We were looking forward to it back in June when the match got postponed. This game was bookmarked as an important one for us and a big opportunity to get back in the mix of where we should be.”
Impact of the fourth goal
“The most important goal was the fourth to really put out their fire since we knew that they were going to come out in the second half raring to go.”
Bruno Rendon
On his goal assisted by Josh O’Brien
“I knew that I had to finish it.”
On his second assist
“I cut it back because I knew he (Jack) was going to get there and score.”
