PORTLAND, Ore.
- Portland Timbers midfielder Luke Kreamalmeyer was named to the USL First Division Team of the Week for Week 13, it was announced today.
Kreamalmeyer earned the honors after scoring twice in Friday’s match at Charleston. Kreamalmeyer netted in the 21st minute after a free kick from Hugo Alcaraz-Cuellar deflected off the wall to Kreamalmeyer’s feet.

The accolades marked the second weekly award this season for Kreamalmeyer, who, along with goalkeeper Bayard Elfvin, was named to the league’s Team of the Week for Week 10.
