Last week, Steven Lenhart put in a performance good enough to win SBI MLS Player of the Week, but fell short. This week, Lenhart removed all doubt about deserving this week's honors as the best player in MLS this weekend.
Lenhart delivered a hat-trick to lead the San Jose Earthquakes to a 4-2 thrashing of D.C. United at RFK Stadium on Stadium. The three-goal, one-assist performance gave Lenhart the edge for top honors this week over some very impressive efforts of Toronto FC's Alan Gordon, Vancouver's Eric Hassli, New York's Thierry Henry and Sporting Kansas City's Graham Zusi.
What did you think of Lenhart being named this week's Player of the Week? Who got your vote for POW this week?

If Arena was any good as a GM, he would have picked up this guy instead of Barrett
Crew let go of all their key players…awful moves
+1
zzzzz we were talking about Lenhart’s hair years ago… yet another brutal loss for Columbus… our management is crap.
Kind of looks like Will Ferrell to me
that reply to Matt just made me “sneeze” my soda all over my laptop!
Quakes trade garbage for Wondo……..quakes again trade garbage for Lenhart. Wow i gotta give Doyle and Yallop more credit
I don’t know about that. Looks more like the Lindbergh baby’s grandson to me.
Best strike I’ve seen in a long, long time. Maybe my favorite goal since Grafite v. Bayern.
sorry eric hassli has to get it alone for the merit just watch that goal one more time
Not saying Lenhart or anyone else isn’t deserving, but out of curiosity, has anyone won PoW or RoW without scoring/assisting in their game(s)?
Well deserved.
SBI MLS Player of the Week: Will Ferrell
sometimes I call him a hat trick hero in casual conversion
‘Fear the Fro’…that draft day trade with the Crew is turning out pretty good for the Quakes.
Both zusi’s goals were better and his games overall were incredible, lienhart wins on stats, zusi on form. Motm in both his games this week imo
Does anyone else call him “pubes?”
If he wasn’t a Quake I would hate him because of the hair. But because he is a Quake, the hair has to stay and I love him.
He looks like the Greatest American Hero teevee series character…
Haha yup, had a good laugh at that
Is it true he only pulls in about 40K a year. If so, hopefully a good season leads to a nice pay hike.
Congrats Lionheart! Well deserved! Great acquisition in the off-season by SJ!
