USL PRO named its Team of the Week for Week 15 of the 2014 season on Tuesday as OKC Energy FC's Mark Howard and Mikey Lopez each earned a spot on the team.
Lopez and Howard were both named after their side's 2-0 win against Sacramento Republic FC. Howard was solid defensively as goalkeeper Jon Kempin had to make only one save, and headed home powerfully to give his side the lead. Lopez was influential throughout, and was rewarded with his first professional goal as OKC moved into the playoff positions.
Orlando City forward Corey Hertzog was named Player of the Week. Hertzog had a pair of goals as the Lions maintained their undefeated start to the season with a 3-0 victory against the LA Galaxy II on Saturday night at ESPN Wide World of Sports.
