PHOENIX - Today team captain Solomon Asante was named the USL Player of the Month for the month of June by the league. It's the first time Asante has received the honor.
"I'm very grateful and happy to be recognized by the league," Asante said.

In June, Asante scored seven goals and tallied four assists while helping the club go 5-0-0. He also broke the USL Western Conference record for most consecutive matches with a goal scored by tallying a goal in his 7th consecutive match in the club's 4-2 win over Portland Timbers 2 on June 29th. In addition to his goal-scoring streak, Asante has notched a brace in back-to-back matches.
Asante and his teammates will return to league play this Saturday, July 13th, on the road against Rio Grande Valley FC. The match is scheduled to kickoff at 5:30 p.m. Fans can tune in on Your PHX CW on channels 6 & 61.1.
