TAMPA, Fla. – The USL Championship today announced the Team of the Week for Week 11 of the 2025 regular season, with Charleston Battery forward Cal Jennings named Player of the Week presented by Konami eFootball with his second brace of the season.

On his 28th birthday, the current USL Championship Golden Boot leader bagged his 13th regular-season brace to move into a tie for the second-most in league history. Jennings scored from the spot in the 24th minute before completing his brace in the 59th minute, helping Charleston grab its first-ever victory against San Antonio FC.

"I thought we moved the ball really well and, honestly, we just have a lot of talent, too; guys that we can put the ball into," Jennings said. "They can break pressure and frustrate the other teams, and I thought a lot of guys had really good performances tonight. 

"MD [Myers] and I are working our butts off up there, running, trying to trying to get us extra opportunities and the team is doing a great job of picking up those and and creating chances, whether that's penalties, whether that shots, where we're getting rebounds. We're just trying to stay focused and get them anyway."
