Port Coquitlam's Kadin Chung Named to USL Team of the Week
May 10, 2016 - United Soccer League Championship (USL)
Vancouver Whitecaps FC 2 News Release
VANCOUVER, BC - Port Coquitlam's Kadin Chung has been named to the USL Team of the Week, the league announced on Tuesday.
The 17-year-old was instrumental in the WFC2 come-from-behind 3-2 win this past Wednesday evening, joining the attack to spark the 'Caps rally.
Chung stole the show in the 67th minute with a crowd-pleasing move to initiate the comeback. Starting from the right edge of the box, the right back turned on the spin cycle to leave a pair of Tulsa defenders in the dust, then set up striker Kyle Greig for a header to tie the match.

The 'Caps would score a last-minute winner to remain unbeaten on the season.
