Rapids' Casey earns 2nd MLS Player

Conor Casey was voted Major League Soccer's Player of the Week for Week 11, it was announced on Monday.
The 6-foot-1, 170-pound forward had two goals in a 3-2 victory at the New York Red Bulls this past Saturday to raise his league-leading total to eight.
"He's been absolutely terrific," Colorado Rapids coach Gary Smith said. "He's been carrying a sore foot and he's had a difficult year after a broken bone in the summer in his foot. To a degree, we've been nursing him through the week, but when he counts like that, I'd play him in a concrete boot just to get him out there.

He's in one of those veins of form right now and I don't want to put the markers on him, but he looks very sharp in front of the goal. He's obviously ultra confident and we hope he continues." Casey, who scored both goals on headers, takes home his second player of the week award of the season after also earning it after Week 3.
