USL announces
Players of the Week - 6-20-02
TAMPA, Fla. --
United Soccer Leagues announced the Players of the Week for Week 9 of
the USL season, honoring Rochester’s Lenin Steenkamp, Arizona’s Mark
Wilson, Williamsburg’s Carlos Garcia and Maryland’s Keri
Sarver.
The Williamsburg Legacy have quietly built a lead in the PDL Mid
Atlantic Division while division rival Raleigh has been enjoying the
spotlight of their Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup success. PDL Player of
the Week Carlos Garcia pushed the Legacy record to 8-3-0 with a
three goals in a pair of wins last week.
In Friday’s road contest, Garcia tallied the game’s lone goal
in the 34th minute for a 1-0 victory.
The following night, the CASL Elite nearly ended the Legacy’s winning
streak at five only to see Garcia score each time it took the
lead in the match. Garcia negated an early sixth-minute Raleigh
tally with a strike just before the end of the half for a 1-1 halftime
score. Raleigh took the lead again in the 63rd, but Garcia
knotted the score at 2-2 by converting a penalty kick in the 90th
minute. Moments later, Graham Albert scored the game-winner,
averting overtime and pushing the club’s win streak to six.
