ST. LOUIS, MO (August 6, 2010) – AC St. Louis forward Mike Ambersley has been named the U.S.S.F. Division II Pro League’s Player of the Month for July. Ambersley helped lead AC St. Louis to a record of 3-3-2 for the month as he scored four goals, including two game-winners.

“It is an honor to be named Player of the Month,” said Ambersley. ”Now that our team is winning and climbing in the standings I look at this award as an honor, not for me, but for our entire team and what we are accomplishing. I was just happy to be able to contribute with some goals, and I hope to continue this success here in August.”

Ambersley netted the game-winner on July 24 at Crystal Palace Baltimore in a 1-0 win. The St. Louis area native then finished off the month with a hat trick against the Portland Timbers on July 28 at The Anheuser-Busch Soccer Park. Ambersley now has six goals in league play this year, and eight goals in all competitions. Ambersley also scored twice in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup, both goals being game-winners.

“This truly an accomplishment for Mike,” stated head coach Dale Schilly. “He is simply being rewarded for all of his hard work at practice. Mike is incredibly intelligent in front of the goal, and has a true understanding of what it takes to score. His ability to finish his chances will be very important in our playoff push.”

Mike Ambersley and AC St. Louis will be in action tonight, Friday August 6, at 7:10 versus the Vancouver Whitecaps at The Anheuser-Busch Soccer Park.
