Awards and accolades keep coming for the Philadelphia Union’s talented young trio of Cavan Sullivan, Neil Pierre and Frankie Westfield.

The recent USMNT call-ups and regular Team of the Week members during the team’s resurgent second half of the season were all listed among the top 11 players in Major League Soccer’s annual 22 Under 22 list.

Sullivan (No. 1) and Pierre (No. 7) are on the list for the first time while Westfield rose to No. 11 after being ranked 18th a year ago.

The top spot for Sullivan is the second for a Philadelphia Union player. Current Leeds United midfielder Brenden Aaronson took the top spot in the 2020 list.
