CHICAGO (Aug. 4, 2014) - Seattle Reign FC midfielder Kim Little was voted the Army National Guard Player of the Month by the media for the month of July of the 2014 NWSL season.
It is the third time this season the Scotland international has been voted Player of the Month after she became the first player in NWSL history to earn the award on multiple occasions, as well as in back-to-back months, for her performances in April and May.
FC Kansas City goalkeeper Nicole Barnhart, who was named Player of the Month for June, is the only player other than Little to claim the honor this season.
Little, 24, had four goals and four assists in six games in July to help Reign FC to a 4-1-1 record during the month as Seattle clinched the 2014 NWSL Shield, awarded to the team with the best regular-season record.
Reign FC secured the silverware July 30 in a 4-1 road victory over the Houston Dash at BBVA Compass Stadium in which Little registered two goals and an assist.
The goals for the Aberdeen, Scotland native were her 13th and 14th of the season - which broke the NWSL single-season scoring record of 12 previously held by FC Kansas City midfielder Lauren Holiday . In addition to leading the league in scoring, Little is tied for second with six assists - one behind Holiday.
Seattle Reign FC return to action Wednesday, August 6 at 10 p.m. ET when they host the Houston Dash at the Moda Pitch at Memorial Stadium.
The Army National Guard Player of the Month is selected each month of the regular season by a selection of journalists that cover the league on a consistent basis.
