Sinclair claims WPS Player of the Week

San Francisco, CA (Sports Network) - Western New York Flash forward Christine Sinclair claimed her second Player of the Week honor of the 2011 season after helping her team earn four points from two games in week 15 to retake the top spot in the Women's Professional Soccer standings.

Sinclair scored twice and assisted the Flash's third en route to defeating magicJack 3-1 in a midweek clash. She also used her experience to help the Flash rally twice for a 2-2 draw with the Boston Breakers last weekend.
