Richie Marquez continues to earn national recognition. The dominating center back was named to MLSsoccer.com Team of the Week for week.

Week 12 was one to remember for the University of Redlands product. In the 91st minute Marquez recorded his first MLS goal against D.C. United last Friday at Talen Energy Stadium. Marquez crashed hard to the box and found a cross that came from the foot of Sebastien Le Toux. Marquez was able to bury home the game-winner to lift Philadelphia to the top of the table in the Eastern Conference.
