NEW YORK (Friday, October 27, 2017) – Houston Dynamo goalkeeper Tyler Deric was voted the Alcatel MLS Player of the Month by members of the media for the month of October of the 2017 Major League Soccer season.
 
The Homegrown product led Houston to an appearance in the Audi 2017 MLS Cup Playoffs with a strong close to the season, recording 15 saves, two clean sheets and allowing just one goal in three October regular season matches. Houston locked up fourth place in the Western Conference standings this season with a six-game unbeaten streak to close the regular season (50 points, 12-10-11 overall record).

​Deric began the month helping Houston to a crucial 2-1 victory over Sporting Kansas City at BBVA Compass Stadium on October 11 in a match with huge playoff implications. The Houston native was beaten earlier in the match but bounced back with a stunning close-range save in the 43rd minute off a Dániel Sallói blast from six yards out (Watch Save). Houston then scored two goals in the second half to go up 2-1. In the third minute of extra time, Deric made another crucial save on Seth Sinovic’s curler, parrying it away to conserve a Dynamo victory ( Watch Save).
 
Four days later the Dynamo dueled Sporting Kansas City again, this time to a scoreless draw at Children’s Mercy Park, with Deric putting in one of the best performances of his season with seven saves in the match. After a strong first half performance, Deric caught a very dangerous header from Benny Feilhaber off the goal-line in the 58th minute (Watch Save ). Deric’s most important save came in the dying minutes when Latif Blessing ended up with the ball just two yards away from goal and tried to blast it home to break the 0-0 deadlock. Deric’s heroic fingertip save preserved the clean sheet and a point for Houston (Watch Save).
 
Deric closed out the month with a four-save performance in leading Houston to a 3-0 win over the Chicago Fire at BBVA Compass Stadium on MLS Decision Day presented by AT&T.
 
The Houston Dynamo will play in the first leg of the Western Conference Semifinals of the Audi 2017 MLS Cup Playoffs on Monday, October 30 when taking on the Portland Timbers at BBVA Compass Stadium (9:30 p.m. ET, FS1 / FOX Deportes / FOX Sports Go / TSN GO / TVA Sports). The second leg will take place on Sunday, November 5 at Providence Park.
