Detroit Ignition News Release
(Southfield, Mich., November 29, 2006) - The Major Indoor Soccer League announced today that Detroit Ignition goalkeeper Sanaldo has been named the League's Goalkeeper of the Month for his performance during November. Sanaldo becomes the first-ever player for the MISL expansion team to receive MISL Player of the Month honors. The 28-year old netminder met the expectations set before him after being selected first overall in the 2006 MISL Expansion Draft held in June.
"I am very happy for Sanaldo as he has been doing an outstanding job for us in goal thus far this season," Ignition President Greg Bibb stated. "I think Sanaldo and Danny Waltman give the Ignition the best goalkeeping tandem in the League. It is nice to see Sanaldo receiving the recognition he deserves for his strong November play."
Sanaldo (2-2) has started all four of the first-year club's 2006-07 regular season games allowing just 17 goals over that period. This season, Sanaldo leads the League with a 7.92 points against average, ranks second overall with a .712 save percentage, and is third in the MISL in total minutes played with 257:28. During the 2005-06 season, the goalkeeper assisted the Baltimore Blast to a successful League Championship run minding the net during the MISL Championship Series. Sanaldo was awarded MISL Player of the Week honors on November 13, the second weekly award of his career.
Offensive Player of the Month recognition went to Vicente Figueroa of the California Cougars who leads the League in scoring, with 16 points, and is tied for the lead in goals scored, with six. The Defensive Player of the Month award went to Milwaukee Wave defender Troy Dusosky who scored 13 points and five goals over four games this season.
