JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Jacksonville Armada FC defender Mechack Jérôme and midfielder Zach Steinberger were named to the NASL Team of the Week after the club’s 1-0 victory over FC Edmonton on Saturday. The Armada FC is now undefeated and sits at first place in the Spring Season Standings.



Steinberger recorded the game-winning goal in just the 7th minute of Saturday’s match when the Armada FC was awarded a corner kick. Steinberger received a short pass from the corner, made a two-touch turn toward the goal, creating enough space to rip a shot through the goalkeeper’s hands and into the bottom right corner of the frame.



The 5-foot-11-inch midfielder also let his presence be felt in the midfield. Steinberger won nine duels and all six of his tackles, helping Jacksonville control play and prevent the Eddies from creating scoring opportunities.



Jérôme’s solid defensive play in the back helped goalkeeper Caleb Patterson-Sewell record his second-straight clean sheet of the season. The Haitian international won eight duels and all three of his tackles. He also recorded three clearances, bringing his season total to 13.



The Armada FC will be back in action this Saturday at Hodges Stadium to battle the San Francisco Deltas for the first time. Jacksonville is trying to go 3-0 also for the first time in franchise history. The Deltas currently sit at second place in the Spring Season Standings. The match is set to kick off at 7 p.m.
