Nick DeLeon's campaign for Rookie of the Year took another step in the right direction this past weekend, with the D.C. United midfielder putting together a solid outing in the club's lopsided win over FC Dallas.
That won DeLeon the SBI MLS Rookie of the Week award, as his game-winning goal gave United their first win of the season, a 4-1 triumph over FC Dallas at RFK Stadium on Friday.
The 21-year-old DeLeon netted his second goal of the year at the hourmark of the chippy affair with a well-taken effort before delivering a pass to Danny Cruz for an insurance goal six minutes later.
The rookie out of Louisville beat out New England Revolution's Kelyn Rowe and Colorado Rapids midfielder Tony Cascio.
What do you think of DeLeon winning the award? Should Rowe or Cascio have won it instead?
