Aaron Long was the first New York Red Bulls player to make the starting lineup of an official MLS Team of the Week selection this season. Now he is the first RBNY player to do so twice this season (and he's still the only Red Bull to have made a TotW starting XI in 2017).

The accolade is for his role in RBNY's 2-0 win over Columbus Crew on April 22: the Red Bulls' third consecutive home win of 2017, and the team's fourth consecutive shut-out at Red Bull Arena.
