Indy Eleven is in the postseason, but played the role of spoiler on Wednesday with a 3-2 win over Tampa Bay, which put Rowdies’ postseason chances in jeopardy. More importantly for Indy (10W-4D-6L, 34 points Fall; 14-10-6, 52 Combined), the club shook off its struggles on the road to record a second victory away from home in 2016. Now, the club will aim to continue its unbeaten run at Carroll Stadium, where it has not lost in the last 17 games. Coach Tim Hankinson chose to rest several players during the midweek clash, but young forward Duke Lacroix stole the show with some stellar individual efforts to score and create another goal in the win.

Puerto Rico FC (4-9-7, 21 Fall; 4-9-7, 21 Combined) travels to Indy on the heels of a tough 2-0 loss to the Fort Lauderdale Strikers that ended the club’s seven-game unbeaten run. Puerto Rico played the Eleven tough in the side’s first NASL game in the 1-1 draw. Puerto Rico has shown promising signs at the tail end of its first NASL campaign with several young players – Sidney Rivera, Jackie Marrero and Kyle Culbertson – making important contributions.
