After his two-goal performance Saturday night against Colorado Springs Switchbacks FC, Phoenix Rising forward Jason Johnson was named the USL Player of the Week Tuesday, the league announced.

Johnson came on as a second-half substitute and scored goals in the 66th and 84th minutes to help extend Phoenix Rising’s unbeaten streak to six matches.

Johnson earned 41 percent of the vote in a poll of national writers, narrowly beating out Swope Park Rangers’ Kharlton Belmar for the Week 17 honor. Johnson becomes the first player for Phoenix Rising this season to be named the Player of the Week.

Other Phoenix Rising FC players to have earned honors from the league this season include Luke Rooney (Team of the Week, Week 5), Alessandro Riggi (USL Team of the Week Bench, Week 5), Shaun Wright-Phillips (USL Team of the Week, Week 8), Omar Bravo (USL Team of the Week bench, Week 8), Amadou Dia (USL Team of the Week, Week 12), Didier Drogba (USL Team of the Week bench, Week 12, Team of the Week, Week 13, Team of the Week bench, Week 16) and Josh Cohen (USL Team of the Week, Week 15).
