Canada Soccer honours David, Lawrence as its players of the month for June

TORONTO — Forward Jonathan David and fullback Ashley Lawrence have been named Canada Soccer’s players of the month for June.

The 19-year-old David scored a Canadian-record six goals at the CONCACAF Gold Cup before Canada exited in a quarterfinal loss to Haiti. David, who plays his club football for KAA Gent in Belgium, also recorded assists on Lucas Cavallini goals against Mexico and Cuba.

Both David and Cavallini have tied the Canada record for international goals scored in a calendar year with seven.
