RICHMOND, Va. – (Tuesday, August 20, 2019) – USL League One announced on Tuesday that forward Daniel Jackson has been named to the Team of the Week for Week 21. This marks the second time this season that Jackson has appeared in the USL League One Team of the Week.
Jackson scored the first goal of the match after just five minutes when Matt Bolduc had his shot take a slight deflection right to the feet of Jackson to put Richmond ahead early in the match. The Kickers lead would double in the 23rd minute again through Jackson. Joe Gallardo won the ball and slipped it through for Jackson, who just needed to calmly slide it past the Toronto keeper. On top of scoring, Jackson recorded a passing accuracy of 70.6 percent from 17 passes, including two key passes.
Richmond heads back on the road this Saturday night to head back to Breese Stevens Field to take on Forward Madison FC.
