August 15, 2011 - North American Soccer League (NASL)
Montreal Impact News Release
MONTREAL - Striker Eduardo Sebrango was named on Monday Offensive Player of the Week in the North American Soccer League (NASL) after registering two goals, one assist and four shots in two games.
Sebrango scored twice in a 3-3 tie against FC Tampa Bay, Wednesday night, in the process scoring his 50th career goal as a member of the Impact. Starting his 200th career game in North American second division, he tied a team record held by Mauro Biello with his eighth career multi-goal game. Sebrango also earned an assist in the 4-0 shutout win against Atlanta, on Sunday night. During the game, he became the 12th player in Impact history to reach 10,000 minutes with the club.
"On behalf of the club, we are very proud for Eduardo," said Impact sporting director and head coach Nick De Santis. "Since the day he came in, he has brought energy to the club and has become our top scorer. However, apart from his point production, his leadership qualities and his inspiration to other players have been enormous. It is gratifying to see that he is being recognized for it."
The Impact will begin the last quarter of its regular season at Saputo Stadium on Aug. 20, against the Minnesota Stars, at 2:30pm (Radio-Canada, CKAC Sports, THE TEAM 990, radio-canada.ca/sports). Tickets for this game are still available through Admission Network (admission.com / 514-790-1245) or at Saputo Stadium's ticketing office.
