Rowdies Notes

The Rowdies are off to a great start as a member of the United Soccer League, having won all their of their matches so far and keeping three clean sheets. Tampa Bay was bumped from the top spot in the Eastern Conference by Saint Louis FC on Wednesday night, but STLFC has played one additional match.

The Rowdies' third-consecutive clean sheet last weekend in a 1-0 win over the Ottawa Fury FC tied a club record set in July of 2012.

Tampa Bay left back Luke Boden was named to the USL Team of the Week on Tuesday after a stellar performance against the Fury FC. It was Boden's deflected cross that Georgi Hristov headed home for the only goal of the match. To read more about Boden, click here.

After being omitted from the Rowdies' 18-man matchday squad in each of the first three matches, forward Martin Paterson is eligible for selection this week. Georgi Hristov received his Green Card and now counts as a domestic player for roster purposes, freeing up an international spot for Paterson.
