Patton, who logged a team‑high 2,063 minutes, contributed four goals and eight assists from the back line, illustrating his rare ability to influence play at both ends of the field.
Brown, meanwhile, amassed 1,907 minutes while operating across multiple defensive positions, scoring three header goals and dishing out five assists, a versatility that has drawn praise from coaches and analysts alike.
Looking Ahead to 2026
