Battery midfielder’s strike against Toronto highlighted top performance

TAMPA, Fla. – Charleston Battery midfielder Dante Marini claimed the USL Fans’ Choice Goal of the Week for Week 14 of the 2017 season, as his long-range finish in the Eastern Conference leader’s victory against Toronto FC II last Saturday night at MUSC Health Stadium took top spot in the weekly online poll.  

Marini’s first two-goal game for the Battery was highlighted by a standout finish in the 67th minute. The diminutive midfielder stole possession from a Toronto player about 30 yards from goal, moved toward the left side of the penalty area and fired a shot to the far corner of the net from 20 yards. The goal was one of numerous highlights on the night for Charleston, which moved six points clear in the Eastern Conference with the win.

Marini’s goal earned 45 percent of the poll conducted online at USLSoccer.com that concluded on Thursday morning. Sacramento Republic FC’s Tyler Blackwood finished second with 39 percent for his calm finish after an outstanding through-ball by Trevin Caesar against Rio Grande Valley FC, while Seattle Sounders FC 2’s Charles Renken took third for his top-corner finish against Orange County SC.
