SPR forward Nansel Selbol claims third consecutive USL Goal of the Month title

Nansel Selbol vs. Reno 1868 FC - July 30, 2017

Swope Park Rangers forward Nansel Selbol has won the USL Fans' Choice Goal of the Month for August - marking the third straight month that the Sporting KC Academy product has won the award, having also been crowned the winner in June and July.

Selbol, 20, scored the Rangers' first goal in a 2-2 draw with Real Monarchs SLC at Swope Soccer Village on Friday, August 18. He received a pass 25 yards from goal, cut inside a defender before lashing a low drive that nestled into the bottom corner. Kharlton Belmar would add an equalizing goal later in the half as SPR came back from a two-goal deficit to claim a point against the USL's top team.


The Jos, Nigeria native, who won the contest with 30 percent of the vote, now has five goals and two assists on the season and has started 14 of his 21 appearances in the Rangers' frontline.


The Rangers are back in action this Sunday when the side faces San Antonio FC at Children's Mercy Victory Field in Swope Soccer Village. Kickoff is set for 4 p.m. CT, with tickets available via SeatGeek.com and a live stream available on YouTube.com/USL.
