Forward records four total goals in Menace’s two season-opening wins

TAMPA, Fla — After a four-goal week in which he helped his team win their first two matches of the season, Des Moines Menace forward Kino Ryosuke has been named PDL Player of the Week in Week 4.

Ryosuke contributed greatly to each of the Menace’s two victories. The forward tallied two goals in the team’s opening win against WSA Winnipeg - including the opening game-winner - before recording another two days later, again including the game-winning second goal, in the team’s 4-1 win over the St. Louis Lions.

Here’s a full look at the PDL National Team of the Week in Week 4.

GK - Dayne St. Clair, New York Red Bulls U23: In his debut action on the season, St. Clair was fantastic for the Red Bulls U23 in goal, securing the team’s first shutout of the season and third-straight win.
D - Ebenezer Ackon, Lansing United: While helping Lansing earn a big rivalry victory over the Michigan Bucks, Ackon went 90 minutes in defense and aided in keeping a clean sheet.
