Soccer Betting Lines
06/30/2009 - New York, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Seattle Sounders FC forward Nate Jaqua claimed Major League Soccer's Player of the Week award for Week 15.
Jaqua tallied two goals and an assist in Sunday's 3-0 victory over the Colorado Rapids in front of more than 32,000 Sounders FC supporters at Qwest Field.
Picked by Seattle in the 2008 expansion draft, Jaqua has scored six goals and added five assists for the Sounders. He is second on the Sounders FC in goals and assists, trailing only strike partner Fredy Montero, who has eight goals and six assists.
This is Jaqua's first Player of the Week honor since Week 10 of 2005 when he recorded his first career hat trick, as a member of the Chicago Fire.
The eight-year veteran has played for the Chicago Fire, Los Angeles Galaxy and won MLS Cup 2007 with the Houston Dynamo. He has three career appearances with the U.S. Men's national team.
Jaqua joins teammates Montero (Week 1) and Kasy Keller (Week 2) as player of the week winners this season.
