HOUSTON - Houston Dynamo forwards Alberth Elis and Memo Rodriguez were named to the MLS Team of the Week presented by Audi, the league announced earlier today.

Rodriguez earned mention in Week 3 with a spot on the bench after he scored his first professional brace last Saturday and set a new career high for goals scored in a season with three. The Dynamo Academy product also scored in Houston's 2-1 victory over Montreal on March 9, and his goal earned MLS Goal of the Week honors.
The Dynamo will return to Houston Sports Park at 9:45 a.m. on Tuesday, March 19 to prepare for their first league road trip of the regular season. The Dynamo are 2-0-1 on the young season and will return to MLS action on March 30 at Colorado.
