Houston Dash defender Poliana was named NWSL Player of the Week by the NWSL Media Association for her performance in Week 10, the league announced today.
The 26-year-old tallied two assists last Saturday as Houston snapped a six-game losing streak with a 2-0 victory over Orlando. Poliana currently leads the team in goals with three and has started in five games for Houston this season.
“She’s been great for us and brings a lot to this team,” interim head coach Omar Morales said. “With the style that we play - we feed off the way she goes forward, we are excited that her hard work was recognized and I’m sure she will continue to have an impact, beginning tomorrow against Boston.
