Cummings named MLS Player of the Week

Soccer Betting Lines

09/06/2010 - New York, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Colorado Rapids striker Omar Cummings was named the MLS Player of the Week for Week 23 on Monday as he had a hand in all three of Colorado's goals in a 3-0 win over Chivas USA on Saturday.

Cummings is the first Colorado player this season to win the award, and he owes much of the credit to a change in footwear at halftime.

"I didn't think we played well the first half, especially me," Cummings told the team's official website after the game. "My touches were bad and off a little bit. So going into the second half, I thought why not change (my shoes), change my attitude and be more aggressive, take some shots and try to score some goals."

Whatever it was, the plan worked as Cummings helped to set up the opening goal from Conor Casey in the 52nd minute, before sealing the win with a pair of goals in a 13-minute span.

The MLS Player of the Week award is selected each week by the North American Soccer Reporters. The group consists of members of online, print, television, radio media. More information can be found at soccerreporters.com.
