PHOENIX (September 12, 2019) — Today team captain Solomon Asante was named the USL Player of the Month for the month of August by the league. It’s the first time Asante has received the honor.
"It's an honor being recognized for my input, but this great achievement wouldn't have been possible without my coach and the entire playing body," Asante said. "Therefore, I dedicate this award to them and also thank them for making me a better player."
In August, Asante scored six goals and tallied three assists while helping the club go 6-0-0. He also broke the club’s single-season goal record and broke the league’s single-season record for most combined goals and assists in a season.
Asante and his teammates will return to league play this Saturday, September 14th, at Casino Arizona Field for a date with Las Angeles Galaxy II. The match kicks off at 7:30 p.m. Fans can tune in on Your PHX CW on channels 6 & 61.1. The match will also be streamed live on ArizonaSports.com
