Seattle Sounders News Release


Seattle Sounders goalkeeper, Chris Eylander, was honored with USL first division team of the week honors for saving nine shots including a penalty kick in the team's 1-1 draw in Charleston.

Eylander, who led the league in saves last year with 109, started off the 2008 season with a dominating performance turning back the Charleston attack with an array of spectacular saves.

Down 1-0 the Sounders looked sure to go down two goals when a penalty was awarded in the 61st minute, but Eylander's diving save kept the game within reach and Kenji Treschuk equalized in stoppage time.

The Sounders next match is April 26th against the Portland Timbers and can be seen live on USLlive.com. The Sounders home opener is May 10th at Qwest field.
