Lindley earns TOTW bench honors
TAMPA/INDIANAPOLIS (Tuesday, October 3, 2023) – After a playoff-clinching performance over the weekend, Indy Eleven saw two players honored as part of the USL Championship’s weekly selections. Adrian Diz Pe was named to the USLC Team of the Week, while Cam Lindley earned bench accolades, league officials announced Tuesday.
In Indy’s 3-0 win over Detroit City FC, Diz Pe played the full 90 minutes winning five of five tackles and four of five aerial duels, while registering five clearances and a pair of interceptions. The defender leads the Eleven with 183 duels won, 121 clearances, 37 tackles won, 42 interceptions and 13 blocks on the season. He sits in the top 10 of the USLC rankings in duels won (9th) and clearances (10th).
Diz Pe previously earned team of the week honors following weeks eight and 23, while picking up bench selections in weeks three and 17.
Lindley picked up his fifth assist of the season in 90 minutes of action, moving him to second on the team in the category. He completed just over 87% of his passes, bringing his season total to 2,115, which ranks him second in the league, and added three duels won, a pair of tackles and an interception.
Lindley was a team of the week selection following week 16 and earned USLC Goal of the Week for his match-winning tally against Hartford the same week.
Indy Eleven clinched its first USL Championship playoff berth since 2019 and third overall since the team joined the league ahead of the 2018 season. Regular-season action continues as the Boys in Blue travel to FC Tulsa Saturday. Kickoff is primed for 8:30 p.m. ET on ESPN+.
