Jader Obrian - Logs assist in loss Obrian made an assist during Saturday's 2-1 loss against San Jose.

Impact Obrian had another chance to start and was credited with an assist for his team's lone goal but other than that he didn't have any noteworthy contribution despite playing the full 90 minutes. The assist was the first of the year for the seldom-used attacker but the overall performance didn't do much for his chances of getting significant playing time during upcoming playoff matchup against LAFC.

Owen Wolff - Scores in loss Wolff scored a goal off his lone shot, created one chance, made three tackles (two won) and drew three fouls during Saturday's 2-1 loss against San Jose.

Impact Wolff played just one half during the regular season finale but that was enough for him to make an impact as he scored his team's lone goal in the 22nd minute with a long-range finish that got a lot of help from an deflection that took away any chance from the goalkeeper. After a very slow start of campaign, the attacker finished strong with all his seven goals of the year being scored over the last 13 appearances and he'll try to carry this momentum for the upcoming playoff matchup against LAFC.
