NEW YORK, June 30 (UPI) -- Major League Soccer Tuesday named Seattle Sounders FC forward Nate Jaqua its player of the week.

Jaqua had two goals and an assist in Sunday's 3-0 victory over the Colorado Rapids.

Jaqua was selected by Seattle in the 2008 expansion draft. He has scored six goals and made five assists for the Sounders. He is second on the Sounders FC in goals and assists, trailing only Fredy Montero, who has eight goals and six assists.

This is Jaqua's first weekly award since 2005 when he got his first career hat trick as a member of the Chicago Fire.

The eight-year veteran has played for the Fire and Angeles Galaxy and won an MLS Cup 2007 with the Houston Dynamo. He has three career appearances with the U.S. men's national team.
