Two-time league Most Valuable Player and five-time FIFA Women's Player of the Year Marta of the Western New York Flash was named Wednesday Women's Professional Soccer's Player of the Week for Week 5 of the 2011 season.
It is the sixth time she has won the weekly award in her career. She won it twice in the 2009 season with the Los Angeles Sol and three times last season with FC Gold Pride. Both of those teams are now defunct.
The Brazilian forward scored a goal in the 77th minute and assisted on goals by Alex Morgan and Caroline Seger in the expansion Flash's 3-1 victory over Sky Blue FC last Friday at Sahlen's Stadium in Rochester, NY, extending their league-best record to 3-0-1 with 10 points.
