SAN JOSE, Calif. -- San Jose Earthquakes forward Chris Wondolowski was voted Major League Soccer Player of the Week by the North American Soccer Reporters (NASR) for Week 28 of the 2010 MLS season. Wondolowski scored two goals in the Earthquakes' 2-0 win over D.C. United on Saturday at RFK Stadium. With the victory, San Jose clinched their first playoff berth since rejoining MLS in 2008.

The MLS Player of the Week is selected each week of the regular season by a panel of journalists from NASR. The group consists of members of print, television, radio and online media. More information and membership information can be found at http://www.soccerreporters.com/ .

Wondolowski, an MVP candidate and Danville native, won his second MLS Player of the Week Award in the last month. His hat-trick performance in a 3-2 win in Toronto against Toronto FC on September 25 was his first time winning the award. The last time an Earthquakes player won MLS Player of the Week more than once in a season was in 2005, when goalkeeper Pat Onstad won it twice.
