Earlier today, the USL Championship announced that Matt LaGrassa’s 15th minute score against San Diego Loyal SC in the Regular Season finale on October 15 was voted Goal of the Week for Week 32.
The score was the Elk Grove native’s third in league play this season and fourth across all competitions. After Damia Viader challenged for a San Diego clearance, the ball fell to LaGrassa, who struck it on the volley with pace into the back of the net. It was his third score in league play this season, and first since August 17 against Colorado Springs Switchbacks FC.
This is LaGrassa’s first win of the weekly honor, and marks the third time Sacramento has won the award this season. Luis Felipe took home the Week 18 honor for a late equalizer against Oakand Roots SC, and Jack Gurr claimed the Week 27 honor for his left-footed strike on September 10.
On Saturday, October 22, the Boys in Old Glory Red will kick off their 8th USL Championship playoff campaign with a home match against New Mexico United. Kickoff at Heart Health Park is set for 7:00 p.m. Tickets are available at SacRepublicFC.com/single-match-tickets. Fans are encouraged to arrive early to take advantage of 90 before 90 half-priced drink specials ahead of kickoff. Fans can access the stadium an extra thirty minutes early, with gates opening at 5:30 p.m. The first 5,000 people through the gates will receive a Republic FC cheer card.
