Players’ Choice Award Winner: Luis Zamudio
This award, voted on solely by his teammates, celebrates the player who exemplifies what it means to be a ‘United’ player through their attitude, reliability, character and success on and off the pitch.
In his first season with the Red-and-White, goalkeeper Luis Zamudio was instrumental in Loudoun United’s defensive success. In 27 appearances, ‘El Pulpo’ recorded 105 saves – the second most in the USL Championship Regular Season. Zamudio holds the club’s single season clean sheet record (7); which ties the number of clean sheets United has kept in the first three seasons combined.
