SAN JOSE, Calif. - San Jose Earthquakes midfielder Jamar Ricketts has been named to Major League Soccer's Team of the Matchday for Matchday 2. Ricketts assisted the go-ahead goal netted by forward Preston Judd in the Quakes' 2-0 victory over Atlanta United FC.

The Earthquakes opened the scoring in minute 24 when Jamar Ricketts intercepted a wayward pass by Atlanta's Lucas Hoyos, charged forward and served a cross from the left wing for Preston Judd, who headed the ball past the goalkeeper for his second goal of the season and a 1-0 lead they would not relinquish.
