TAMPA, FL – United Soccer Leagues announced Monday its USL First and Second Division Teams of the Week for the 15th week of the season, honoring Fabian Dawkins of Atlanta and John Krause of Cincinnati as the USL First and Second Division Players of the Week, respectively.

Having seen minimal time this season due to injury after finishing second in scoring last year, the Jamaican international found his form coming off the bench in Minnesota Sunday, registering a goal and two assists in an amazing finish for a 3-2 win.

Trailing 1-0 late in the match, the 53rd minute sub set up Warren Ukah for the first of four goals the game saw in the final six minutes plus stoppage to tie the game.

Minnesota regained the lead four minutes later, requiring another assist from Dawkins, this time to Maurice Hughes, to level the game in stoppage time before adding the game-winner himself with his first goal of the campaign.

Cincinnati put themselves in good position to qualify for the playoffs with a 4-0 victory at Long Island Wednesday in which new addition John Krause stamped his mark.

Krause opened the match with a pair of goals four minutes apart in the 20th and 24th to give Cincinnati a commanding advantage. In the 61st minute, he completed a natural hat-trick to put the game out of reach for the Rough Riders as they cruised to the win.

Krause had just one goal with Wilmington before joining Cincinnati, where he has scored four in just four games thus far. The Kings are on a four-game win streak after having lost the previous two before his move to the club.
