Paterson named to the USL Championship Team of the Week for Week 31

October 7, 2025

The following match was Paterson’s turn to shine in defense with the veteran leading the way with nine clearances as the Birmingham defense was unwavering despite constant pressure from Loudoun. The veteran Paterson connected on 24 of his passes on the afternoon, including a long ball over the top to forward Tyler Pasher that led to a foul in the box midway through the first half. Paterson then finished the job with a strong left-footed strike from the spot for his first goal of the season and second since joining Legion FC in 2024.
