Accolades for Dynamo

After just the first month of its existence, Dynamo has the lead in the conference, Dynamo fans have been recognized for their passion, and the players have been showered with praise and accolades.

Ching -- who now is probably on his way to Cary, NC, to begin training with the UNMNT for the World Cup finals -- was named MLS Player of the Month of April. He leads the MLS with 7 goals (next best has 4) and is the only player to notch a hat trick this season.

DeRo, who had an outstanding game overall vs. FC Dallas, has been named MLS Player of the Week. He scored two vs the Hoops and is tied with Ching to lead the league with 2 game winning goals.

DeRo's and Ricardo Clark's finishes from the Hoops game are also up for Goal of the Week. I think DeRo's second goal -- rather than his first -- should be the nominee.

Now lets see if we can get some highlight-worthy footage from our defense...
