For the first time in 2019, three MNUFC players will feature in the MLS Team of the Week. Ike Opara and Jan Gregus were named starters with Darwin Quintero joining them on the bench for for Week 17.
Opara makes his third appearances in the Team of the Week this year, last earning the honor in Week 10. The centerback got the Loons on the board by knocking home a deflection off the goalkeeper 18 minutes into last weekend’s game against FC Cincinnati. He got his brace in the 70th minute with a header off a service from Gregus.
