As the weekend's spate of scoreless draws would suggest, goalkeepers were active and effective across MLS in Week 14.
Naturally, that means there were plenty of worthy contenders for MLS Save of the Week honors. We've narrowed the field down to five finalists; now it's your turn to pick the week's best.
First up: San Jose's David Bingham, whose close-range stop on Michael Barrios was the best among several gems during his clean-sheet performance against FC Dallas on Sunday. He's joined by Columbus Crew SC netminder Steve Clark, who made a fine double save to keep his team in contention during their 2-1 loss to Montreal.
Also in the mix: D.C. United's Andrew Dykstra. The Black-and-Red lost 2-1 to Toronto FC thanks to some Sebastian Giovinco magic, but Bill Hamid's understudy did his share of glovework just the same.
Luis Robles has earned a second straight SOTW nomination, this time for an agile parry of a dangerous Brad Davis free kick in the New York Red Bulls' Friday-night loss to the Houston Dynamo. And Philadelphia Union 'keeper Brian Sylvestre is also in the running this week, as he continues to impress during his loan stint from the Carolina RailHawks.
