STATESBORO, Ga. — Striker Gabriel Rodriguez was named a member of the USL League One Team of the Week bench for the first week of the 2024 regular season. Rodriguez scored his first USL League One goal and Tormenta FC’s first goal of the 2024 campaign during the home opener.
Rodriguez entered the pitch for South Georgia in the 71st minute as a substitute for Sebastian Vivas. During his 19 minutes on the pitch, he found himself in dangerous positions of his own, making four touches in the opposition box, which led to two shots and a goal. Rodriguez also created a goal-scoring chance for one of his Tormenta teammates.
Rodriguez, who played for Tormenta 2 in USL League Two, was re-signed during the 2023-2024 offseason. The powerhouse striker scored nine times for South Georgia during his time spent with the Tormenta 2 team.
South Georgia and Rodriguez are back in action at 7:30 p.m., Saturday, March 16, as they face Forward Madison FC at Tormenta Stadium. Fans can purchase their tickets for the match here!
