MLS End of Year Awards
Two of the Union's best players this season were Jack Elliott and Andre Blake. Now, they've been named finalists for MLS End of Year awards. Elliott was one of three finalists for the AT&T Rookie of the Year, and Blake was named a finalist for MLS Goalkeeper of the Year just one year after winning the same award. Elliott was a key cog in the Union lineup all season and performed as one of the best rookies in MLS and one of the best defenders, regardless of experience. Meanwhile, Blake set many career marks this season, topping his award-winning performance last season.
