Molino takes trio of USL Pro awards

So­ca War­riors mid­field­er and Or­lan­do City SC's Kevin Moli­no was named the league's Scor­ing Cham­pi­on, Gold­en Boot and As­sist Cham­pi­on when the USL PRO an­nounced the league's 2014 sta­tis­ti­cal award win­ners on Tues­day, in Tam­pa Bay, Flori­da.

The 24-year-old Moli­no had a record-set­ting sea­son in the Li­ons' fi­nal cam­paign be­fore join­ing Ma­jor League Soc­cer. The Care­nage-born T&T in­ter­na­tion­al, who was Or­lan­do's first MLS sign­ing, set a new league record for goals with 20 and points with 49.

Forme­ly a stu­dent of Mu­cu­rapo Se­nior Com­pre­hen­sive, Moli­no's nine as­sists al­so led the league, putting him ahead of Sacra­men­to's Ro­dri­go Lopez and Char­lotte's Drew Yates. The 2012 USL PRO Most Valu­able Play­er led the Li­ons to their third reg­u­lar sea­son ti­tle, and will like­ly be a key fig­ure in the next month as Or­lan­do at­tempts to add a third USL PRO Cham­pi­onship to its tro­phy case.

Mean­while, Rochester Rhi­nos' John Mc Carthy was al­so ho­n­oured, as he was named Goals-Against Av­er­age Cham­pi­on.

A for­mer PDL All-Con­fer­ence se­lec­tion for the Ocean City Nor'east­ers in 2012, Mc­Carthy had an out­stand­ing rook­ie sea­son for the resur­gent Rhi­nos, who fin­ished with the sec­ond-best de­fen­sive record in USL PRO.

Mc­Carthy's goals-against av­er­age of 0.722 placed him just ahead of the Rich­mond Kick­ers' Joe Willis. Mc­Carthy al­so led USL PRO with 10 shutouts in 18 ap­pear­ances, claim­ing the league lead in the Rhi­nos' fi­nal game of the sea­son as they de­feat­ed Wilm­ing­ton to move in­to sixth place in the fi­nal USL PRO stand­ings.

Moli­no and Mc Carthy are both set to com­pete in the 2014 USL PRO Play­offs, which kick off on Sat­ur­day night as the top eight teams com­pete to take a step to­ward the cham­pi­onship.

The quar­ter­fi­nal matchups see top-seed­ed Or­lan­do City SC hosts the Har­ris­burg City Is­landers, while Sacra­men­to Re­pub­lic FC hosts Wilm­ing­ton Ham­mer­heads FC, the LA Galaxy II wel­come the Rochester Rhi­nos, and long-time ri­vals the Rich­mond Kick­ers and Charleston Bat­tery face off for the first time in the USL PRO Play­offs.
