In a 2-2 tie vs. New York City FC on May 31, the FC Dallas Academy product picked up his first two MLS assists (secondary assists) with a pair of long-range passes. Corcoran slotted his first goal for Nashville in a friendly vs. English Premier League side Aston Villa on Aug. 2, helping the club fight back from a 2-0 deficit to secure an exciting 2-2 tie in its first-ever game against Premier League opposition.
