TAMPA, Fla. - USL League Two announced today the Team of the Month for June of the 2021 regular season, with Western Mass Pioneers’ forward and League Two Top Prospect Ignacio Lerech named Player of the Month after putting up seven goals and three assists over a six-game span in June. 

The Tucuman, Argentina native has been a key player for the Pioneers in the month of June leading his team to the top of the Northeast Division table. Lerech suited up for the Pioneers in all six of its June matches and managed to score in five of those six matches leading the Pioneers to an undefeated record in June. As it stands, Lerech sits in second place for leading goal scorer in the league with 11 goals so far in the 2021 regular season. Outside of his tremendous ability to finish a play, Lerech has also been a playmaker in the offensive half for the Pioneers adding three assists in the six match span in June. As the Pioneers make their run for a spot in the 2021 League Two Final, Lerech is sure to be one of the players to watch in this year’s playoffs. 

The USL League Two Team of the Month is selected by the League Two Technical Committee.

GK - Josh Levine, Long Island Rough Riders: Levine has been an absolute brick wall between the sticks in the second month of Path2Pro play. The League Two Top Prospect played in all five games in the month of June and conceded only one goal the entire month.

The Eagles center mid played in all eight matches in June for the Eagles and slotted home five goals in the 676 minutes he played during the month. In addition, Marriott also recorded three assists this month. 

M - Matthew Cornish, Grand Rapids FC: The leading goal scorer for Grand Rapids FC, Cornish saw a total of 515 minutes of play in June.
