USL Playoffs: One player to watch on each of the 16 teams
Sacramento Republic FC’s Cameron Iwasa
Sacramento is known for having one of the loudest fan bases in all of the USL. The guy who makes them cheer the most is second year man Cameron Iwasa. A fourth round pick in the 2015 Superdraft by the Montreal Impact, Iwasa signed with his hometown club after being released in the MLS preseason. Iwasa does not shy away from a big moment, or a long distance shot, scoring multiple big strikes to electrify the crowd. This year, he finished the regular season with 12 goals and three assist for the Western Conference champion Republic.
Orange County Blues’ Trevin Caesar
The Blues rely on Trinidad and Tobago international forward Trevin Caesar to energize their offense. The quick footed Caesar is equally not afraid of going back to win a ball in the midfield, or firing a shot on goal when the team needs his scoring. He finished the year with an even ten goals, but none bigger than the brace he scored in the regular season finale to clinch a playoff spot for Orange County. His international experience and confidence in the midfield are a huge boost to the Blues.
