(Rochester, NY) - The Major Arena Soccer League today announced this week's Team of the Week. Lancers goalkeeper Joey Kapinos was one of six players to be named to the list:
GK - Joey Kapinos, Rochester Lancers - The former Waza Flo goalkeeper has improved upon his already impressive winning percentage with a 3-0 start to improve his lifetime record to 26-5. Kapinos held the Harrisburg Heat to two goals as the Lancers moved two games over .500 for the first time in franchise history.
D - Costea Decu, Detroit Waza Flo - Decu gave the Waza Flo a big lift with a goal and two assists in their 8-6 win against the Syracuse Silver Knights. The win kept Detroit firmly in the division playoff race despite a 3-4 start.
D - Stephen Basso, Ontario Fury - Basso was acquired from the Rochester Lancers before the season and is the second leading scorer for Ontario. He had a goal and two assists in the Fury's two wins last week.
F - Max Touloute, Missouri Comets - The "Haitian Sensation" was messaging teams on Facebook this time last year just trying to find someone to give him a chance. He signed with the Pennsylvania Roar and finished as their second leading scorer in just five games before being dealt to the Comets. Touloute (pronounced Too-LOOT) has thrived in Missouri. He currently sits 7th in the MASL in points with 17 and had four goals and five assists in two wins last weekend.
