Player Ratings:

Matt Pickens (7) - Made several good saves.  Distributed the ball well.  There was nothing to be done on the goal.

Jordan Harvey (5) - Steady on the left side.  Struggled to feed Clark, but didn't give up anything on defense.

Ugo Ihemelu (5) - His pace was key to helping the defense recover.

Cory Gibbs (5) - Played a solid game.  The defense was more organized than it was against Chivas, but still had some shaky moments.

Kosuke Kimura (5) - Struggled to feed Peterson all night.  Wasn't greatly tested on the right.  Used his pace to make some good supporting plays on defense.

Colin Clark (6) - A marked man all night.  Seldom had the ball with less than three defenders closing him down.  Dribble into traffic a few times while looking to set up for a shot.  Did well to feed Omar on the goal.

Nick LaBrocca (7) - Had the job of filling Pablo's shoes.  Kept the ball moving all night long with smart passes to start and re-start the offense.  

Mehdi Balouchy (6) - Served two good balls in the first half that the forwards wasted.  Contributed a lot defensively, but seemed to drift as the game wore on.

Jacob Peterson (5) - Served a few good crosses in the first half, had difficulty finding shots, and was overly cautious on a few possessions.  He struggled getting himself open to receive the ball.

Conor Casey (6) - Won every header within reach, but struggled to find his shot.

Omar Cummings (7) - Scored on a well taken strike.  Ran hard all night. 

Substitutes:

Terry Cooke (8) - Instant offense.  Came in and scored on a swerving free kick.  Found Clark in the buildup to Omar's goal.  Served several dangerous balls that kept the Wizards defense busy.  Man of the Match.
