Richmond Kickers midfielder Stanley Nyazamba is the recipient of the USL Second Division Rookie of the Year award. 
 
Nyazamba joined the Kickers upon graduating from Lee University of the NAIA Conference last spring.  Adding 12 goals and 20 assists his senior year, the 6’1” midfielder finished with 28 goals and 44 points over three seasons, eclipsing the All-Time Assists Leader at Lee University with 60 assists overall.  In his first professional season, Nyazamba quickly became one of the Kickers top scorers, tallying eight goals and two assists overall for 18 points.  The native of Bulawayo, Zimbabwe garnered USL-2 Team of the Week honors consecutively, notching the game-winning lone goal over Western Mass and Charlotte on May 17th and May 24th, respectively. Good for third on the team in scoring, he also finished in the top 10 in goals and points in the USL-2.  
 
USL also honored Dustin Swinehart (Charlotte Eagles) as Most Valuable Player, Mark Schulte (Cleveland City Stars) as Defender of the Year and Mark Steffens (Charlotte Eagles) as Coach of the Year.  The Cleveland City Stars host the Charlotte Eagles in the USL-2 Championship tomorrow, Saturday, August 23rd.
