Daryl Dike found the back of the net for the sixth time this year on Wednesday against Atlanta, his second finish in as many matches for the Lions, earning him a spot on the MLS Team of the Week for Week 21. The rookie out of the University of Virginia trails only Chris Mueller on the squad in goals this season, with four assists to his credit as well, including one this past Wednesday on the Lions’ third goal of the evening.
