Phoenix Rising FC forward Junior Flemmings was named to Week 7’s USL Championship Team of the Week, the league announced Tuesday.

The Jamaican duo combined for three goals and two assists in Phoenix’s 4-0 win over Tacoma Defiance FC on Saturday.
Both the game’s and Flemmings’ opening goal was assisted by defender A.J. Cochran who was named to Week 6’s Team of the Week.
Guess what. @Flemmo_77 can score from there.
