Aluko claims WPS Player of the Week

Soccer Betting Lines

08/25/2010 - Kennesaw, GA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - English forward Eniola Aluko was named Women's Professional Soccer Player of the Week for Week 19 after scoring what would prove to be the decisive goal to lead the expansion Atlanta Beat to a vital 3-2 victory over the Boston Breakers.

Aluko's goal in the 73rd minute on Saturday gave Atlanta a three-goal advantage on Boston, which scored two late goals in a rally that fell short. The victory moved the Beat to within a point of escaping the WPS cellar and within five of a playoff berth with four games remaining on its schedule.

The goal was Aluko's eighth of the season and her fourth since joining the Beat after Saint Louis Athletica folded in May.

This is the third time Aluko has been honored as Player of the Week -- she won in Week 12 last season and in Week 1 this year, both while with Saint Louis -- and the second time an Atlanta player has won the award. Hope Solo, who also came to the Beat from Saint Louis, won in Week 16.
