SCOTTSDALE -- Junior Flemmings continued his hot goal scoring streak with a helping hand from his teammates Saturday as Phoenix Rising FC shut out San Diego Loyal SC 2-0 on Pride Night at Casino Arizona Field.
The dominant win, Rising's third straight overall, moved their season mark to 5-1-1. With 16 points in seven matches, Phoenix holds down first place in USL Championship's Group B. Rising also leads the group with a +15 goal differential.
"I’m proud of our boys," Rising Head Coach Rick Schantz said after the match. "We knew, being at home, we had to go press them and not let them dictate the game and have the ball."
