Valot has scored two goals in his last two games and now has three goals on the year. The midfielder is also tied for tenth in the league with 43 chances created. Powder has worked well with teammate Junior Flemmings on the left side and it could be a pairing the manger John Wolyniec continues to use going forward.
NYRBII will look to continue their unbeaten run when they take on Toronto II FC on Saturday, September 9. Kick-off is at 8:00 pm.
