Montreal Impact News Release
MONTREAL - Montreal Impact forward Ryan Pore was named Offensive Player of the Week, following the 24th week of activity in the North American Soccer League (NASL).
Pore scored twice (12th and 78th minute) in a 2-0 win over FC Edmonton, Saturday at Saputo Stadium.
"This honour is a reflection of the team's success right now," said Ryan Pore. "We have been getting some good results as of late and hopefully we will bring this confidence to Atlanta and get the win."
"Ryan has proved over time in this league that he can score important goals and that he can achieve great things in key moments. That's what he did Saturday," said Impact head coach and sporting director Nick De Santis. "He has adapted himself to certain situations with us and he imposes himself in the lineup."
Since his arrival in Montreal on July 22, the 27-year-old player, who was loaned by the Portland Timbers (MLS), has tallied four goals and one assist for nine points in 10 games, nine as starter (690 minutes).
The Impact is one point behind the Minnesota Stars for the sixth and final playoff spot. The team will finish its regular season this Saturday at 7pm, against the Silverbacks, in Atlanta, while the Stars will conclude their season the same night, against the Carolina RailHawks, in Cary.
