Power Ranking: Week 16 (MLSSoccer.com)
An uneven week for the Crew last week. Rookie Teal Burbury scores his frist MLS goal to help the lowly Wizards blank the Crew, 1-0, on Wednesday. Saturday, the Crew hosted the hot New York Red Bulls - with their newest signee, Thierry Henry along for the visit to Columbus - and shut out the Red Bulls, 2-0.
It adds up to the Crew staying in third place in the MLS power rankings. The win over New York improved the Crew's Eastern Conference lead to 5 points over the Red Bulls, with a record of 9-3-4.
This week the Crew host the Houston Dynamo on Saturday.
