Chicago Fire FC II has been named the MLS NEXT Pro Team of Matchweek 16, following

Florida. Midfielder Trip Fleming netted twice in the second half, including the game-winner in
the 77th minute. Winger Claudio Cassano recorded three assists, while forward Jason Shokalook
scored early, marking his fourth goal of the season.
