De Rosario collects another MLS Player of the Week honor

New York, NY – D.C. United midfielder Dwayne De Rosario was 1 win over Real Salt Lake.

De Rosario claimed back-to-back POW awards earlier this season, and he completed his hat trick in the 31st minute - earlier in the game than any player's three-goal performance in MLS history.

The Canadian leads MLS with 13 goals and he also set up another goal in the win over RSL, which moved United to within one point of a playoff spot.
