One game after becoming the first player on the team to reach 100 appearances in a win against Houston on Wednesday, he broke Miguel Almiron’s team record for assists (29) in Sunday’s 2-0 win against D.C. United at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. It took Almiron 62 games to set the previous record.

“It just means that we score goals, and that is obviously encouraging,” Gressel said. “It is something that obviously makes me proud a little bit. It took me a little longer than Miggy, but similar to the 100 appearances, coming in as a draft pick and contributing right away, I am just proud of it and hope to continue it. There is always that next one, and hopefully, we can get that sooner rather than later.”
