Jack Elliott making case for Rookie of the Year

Jack Elliott has been a bright spot for the Union his rookie season, and has staked the best claim for Rookie of the Year.

Elliott entered the year as a player who was not expected to be a main contributor. Selected in the fourth round at 77th overall, Elliott was seen as a player who would get consistent minutes at Bethlehem Steel FC and occasionally chip in with the first team.

During the beginning of the season, Elliott played one game with Bethlehem Steel FC, earning 75 minutes while also chipping in with an assist. He also found himself in the game day 18 for the Union in two of the team's first three matches.
