TAMPA, Fla. – The USL Championship today announced the Team of the Week for Week 12 of the 2025 regular season, with El Paso Locomotive FC forward Andy Cabrera named Player of the Week presented by Konami eFootball after recording a two-goal performance in his side’s 2-1 victory on the road against Las Vegas Lights FC on Saturday night.

The award is Cabrera’s second of the month having previously earned the honor in Week 8/9 of the campaign. The 24-year-old struck either side of halftime against the Lights, heading home from a cross by fellow Team of the Week selection Frank Daroma eight minutes before halftime and putting home a first-time finish off Beto Avila’s cutback cross in the 64th minute.

The two-goal performance continued Cabrera’s recent run of impressive form. The native of Bogota, Colombia has notched a goal contribution in four consecutive games to help fuel Locomotive’s run into second place in the Western Conference standings, notching six goals and two assists in that span. After going behind early, El Paso’s comeback victory was its first since the 2023 season, while the side became the first to take points from the Lights after conceding the opening goal this season.

The Championship's Player of the Week is selected by the USL National Media Panel, which is made up of representatives from each media market in the Championship. Cabrera received 50 percent of the poll, with Charleston Battery forward Cal Jennings finishing second on 33 percent after his two-goal performance in the Battery’s 3-1 win against Detroit City FC.
