PORTLAND, Ore. - United Soccer Leagues announced today that Portland Timbers defender Cameron Knowles was selected to the USL First Division Team of the Week for Week 9 for his performance in the team's 1-0 win over the Montreal Impact last week at PGE Park.
Knowles, 26, assisted the game-winning goal by Keith Savage in the 90th minute in a 1-0 victory over Montreal on June 4. He also aided in the Timbers' defensive efforts that held the Impact to just two shots to earn the team's fifth shutout of the season.
