Three of FC Cincinnati’s 2019 MLS SuperDraft picks featured for their current USL clubs this past week.
Here’s a look at how they fared:
Rashawn Dally

Dally started and played the full match against Atlanta on Wednesday night. He finished with a 77.8% passing accuracy and won eight duels, four of which were aerial duels.
In front of goal, Dally recorded two shots – with one on target. He also created two chances and nearly produced the match’s equalizing goal in the 74th minute with a shot that was inches away from tucking into the bottom right corner.
Tommy McCabe
Position: Midfielder
Club: North Carolina FC
Result: 2-1 loss at Atlanta United 2
After Dally’s Memphis squad played Atlanta on Wednesday evening, McCabe became the second FC Cincinnati player to play against Atlanta on Saturday Night. Despite recording a game-tying goal prior to halftime, North Carolina picked up their first loss of 2019.
As for McCabe, he had an 87% passing accuracy that improved to 90% in Atlanta territory. Additionally, he created two chances with two crosses to teammates who were unable to produce their side’s second goal.
Ben Lundt
Position: Goalkeeper

Result: 1-1 draw at Tampa Bay Rowdies
Lundt made one save and conceded one goal in the 1-1 draw at Al Lang Stadium. Lundt has now playedin five straight matches for the reigning USL Championship champions after being an unused sub in the season opener.
