SAN FRANCISCO, CA (June 13, 2011) - Two goals and two assists, coupled with her consistent delivery of hard work earned Western New York Flash Forward/Midfielder McCall Zerboni the majority share of votes, and the honor of being named Women's Professional Soccer's Player of the Month for May.

The Flash's 5-0 record in May can be largely attributed to the tireless work of Zerboni, who appeared in all five May games for the Flash, while logging a total of 353 minutes on the field. The San Clemente, CA native earned top honors in Week 6 as the Player of the Week after notching an assist and two goals, including the game-winner in the Flash's 3-2 victory over the Boston Breakers on Friday, May 13. She assisted the equalizer in the Flash's May 29th match against the Philadelphia Independence, and her hard work in this game turned out to be the difference when she was clipped, while dribbling through Philly's 18 yard box, which set up the game winning PK.

Zerboni's achievement marks the first time in franchise history a Flash player is honored as the Player of the Month.

The veteran midfielder/forward has been a player in WPS since 2009, when she played for the Los Angeles Sol team that captured the inaugural season championship. She spent the 2010 with the Atlanta Beat, and joined Western New York as a free-agent during the 2010-11 offseason.

The WPS Player of Month is selected through votes cast both by fans online and a panel of journalists from the North American Soccer Reporters.
