Sean Melvin named to USL Team of the Week after five-save clean sheet

Sean Melvin was honoured with a selection to the USL Team of the Week after Sunday's stellar performance against Timbers 2, the league announced on Tuesday.

The Victoria, BC produced a five-save clean sheet against the Cascadia rivals, snuffing out threats from an experienced Portland side that included eight players from their first-team roster.

With Melvin shutting out T2, the young 'Caps won 1-0 on a late goal from Thomas Sanner, as WFC2 won their second consecutive derby win.

Next up is a date with USL-leading San Antonio FC in the UBC home opener on Saturday.
