CEDAR RAPIDS, IA - December 6, 2016 - For the third straight week and for the fourth time in six weeks Cedar Rapids Rampage midfielder Gordy Gurson was selected to the MASL's Team of the Week honoring the top performances around the league.
Gurson had his best week of the season, netting six goals in two road victories. On Friday he scored four times including the tying and game-winning goals in the Rampage's 6-5 win in Syracuse. The next night he scored a bicycle kick goal and the sudden death game-winner in a 3-2 win in Harrisburg.
