Watsonville native Adrian Rebollar and Monterey Bay FC teammate Carlos Guzmán were both named to the USL Championship Team of the Week for their performances in the Union’s 3-1 victory over the Phoenix Rising FC on March 29.
Rebollar notched his first goal of the season after sneaking in a shot past the goalkeeper in the 64th minute of the match, giving Monterey Bay FC the go-ahead score at 2-1. The goal was Rebollar’s ninth all-time for the Crisp-and-Kelp.
The 25-year-old midfielder won four duels and added three recoveries. Rebollar also had two chances created and two fouls won in addition to forcing a save with a second shot on target in the match.
Guzmán kicked things off with a bang, scoring his first goal of the season just a little more than two minutes into the match. In addition to winning all seven of his duels, the Mexican defender recorded eight completed long passes, five recoveries, four clearances, three fouls won and two interceptions.
Guzmán completed 86 percent of his passes and added a chance created for Monterey Bay FC (3-1), which plays at Detroit City FC (2-1-1) on Saturday at 1pm.
