NEW YORK -- Los Angeles Galaxy forward Cobi Jones, who
scored twice in Saturday's 3-2 road victory over the Colorado
Rapids, was selected MLS Player of the Week for the period
ending Sunday, April 29.
Jones, who collected the award for the eighth time, enjoyed an
historic match. The 30-year-old striker's first goal marked the
300th for the Galaxy franchise and his second tally was the 50th
of his MLS career.
"The fact that my two goals were team and personal landmarks
makes them more special," Jones said. "I want to share this
with all my teammates, but especially Peter Vagenas for his two
great passes that put me in position to score."
The United States international snapped an eight-game MLS
goal-scoring drought with his pair on Saturday. Jones' last
goals came on July 8, 2000, when the Galaxy's all-time leading
scorer with 140 points struck twice in a 5-3 victory over Miami.
