USL PRO has named Riverhounds forward Jose Angulo as the Player of the Week.

Angulo was at the center of the Riverhounds’ dramatic comeback victory against his former side, the Harrisburg City Islanders, on Friday night. Facing a two-goal halftime deficit on the road, Angulo began the Riverhounds’ rally with a penalty kick early in the second half. He then gave his side the lead for the first time in the game, hitting home a first-time finish after Ryan Kinne’s initial effort had been blocked.

Two days later, Angulo continued his strong run of form as the Riverhounds defeated Antigua to move into the playoff places for the first time this season. Angulo was credited with an assist on Darren Amoo’s second goal of the game, with his excellent free kick coming back off the post to allow for an easy tap-in on the rebound, and then added the final goal of the game. Angulo has now scored in five consecutive games, recording a goal in each of the Riverhounds’ games in the month of June.

Have to feel good for Angulo, who has been quietly closing in on Dom Dwyer’s USL PRO-leading goal total. At this point, you can pretty much count on Angulo for a goal a game, which is ridiculous.

This is exactly what the Hounds have needed for years. Also, good to see Amoo, Vincent, and Dallman getting recognized.
