"We are thrilled and honored for Jeremy to earn this monthly league award. Jeremy is a top player and an even better teammate," 901 FC Head Coach Ben Pirmann said. "The most exciting part of earning these types of awards is that our locker room of players are the true recipients.

We have very good players, and when very good players work hard and are selfless, this is what ends up happening."
