On first win in club history:
It feels great to get our first win. Everybody has been working really hard every day, so it feels good to be rewarded.
Thoughts leading up to goal:
I got the ball and saw Akeem on the switch so sent it to him. As he brought it down, I was trying to get to a scoring position. He sent me a perfect ball and gave me a chance to score. I just tried to beat my man and get there first. He played a perfect ball so I was happy to be able to put it away and help us win.
Overall thoughts on team performance:
Everybody fought very hard today, and did their jobs. We knew it would be a tough game, but the staff did a great job preparing us and giving us a game plan to be successful. It feels great to come away with the first win in Loudoun United history today. It was a big team effort and I am proud of the guys.

On first win in club history:
It’s a good feeling to be a part of the first win in Loudoun United’s history. Red Bull’s II is consistently a top performing team and to get our first 3 points on the road against them is an accomplishment for our group.
Thoughts leading up to goal:
We had a bit of a slow start, yet we responded well. We had them under pressure and we were dangerous on set pieces. The ball came out at a nice height and it’s one of those shots where as soon as it leaves your foot you know it’s going in.
Overall team performance:
I think it’s a result our group is proud to have achieved. We overcame our slow start and responded well. It wasn’t always beautiful play from our team yet players stepped up in important moments and as a group we collectively earned 3 points against a tough opponent. Now we need to continue improving and as a group show the fans what we’re capable of achieving together. We’ve worked hard collectively and will use this result to build momentum and continue to improve.
