TAMPA, Fla. – The USL Championship announced the Team of the Week for Week 14 of the 2023 regular season on Tuesday, with Miami FC forward Kyle Murphy voted the Championship Player of the Week presented by Konami eFootball after scoring once and notching two assists in a thrilling 3-3 draw against Rio Grande Valley FC on Saturday night at H-E-B Park.

The veteran forward got the contest off to a flying start, converting from the penalty spot in the fourth minute, and then notched assists on goals by Claudio Repetto in the 62nd minute and Ryan Telfer 16 minutes later as Miami regained the lead after trailing at halftime. It marked the second time Murphy had notched one goal and two assists in a regular season game in his career, with the prior time coming for Rio Grande Valley in 2017 against the Tacoma Defiance.

Murphy earned 36 percent of the ballot to claim the award. Loudoun United FC’s Zach Ryan finished second on 27 percent as he recorded a pair of goals while playing a key role in his side’s opening goal in a 3-1 victory against FC Tulsa on Friday night, moving Ryan to seven goals in the campaign so far.
