Syracuse Silver Knights News Release
SYRACUSE, N.Y. - The Major Indoor Soccer League announced on Tuesday that Syracuse Silver Knights' Kenardo Forbes has been names to the MISL Team of the Week. Forbes had a pair of goals as his side moved into sole possession of first in the league standings with a 10-7 win against Rochester. Teammates Machel Millwood and Bryan O'Quinn were named Honorable Mention. Millwood led the offense with three assists and O'Quinn racked up an impressive 29 saves in the teams' ninth straight win against Rochester.
Baltimore Blast midfielder Max Ferdinand has been named the MISL Player of the Week for the sixth week of the 2013-14 regular season. Ferdinand recorded seven goals, and 16 points, over two games as the Blast took a home-and-home sweep of the Pennsylvania Roar.
Ferdinand entered the weekend with just two goals and six points, but was in fine form against the Roar. Returning to Reading, Pa., where he starred as a high school player, Ferdinand had a hat trick, including a 3-pointer, on Friday night, and then followed that with a nine-point night on four goals and one assist on Saturday night at Baltimore Arena. The points surge moved Ferdinand into third place in the MISL's individual point leaders.
Ferdinand was joined on the MISL Team of the Week by goalkeeper William Vanzela, who earned a berth for the second consecutive week after recording an eight-save shutout against the Roar on Saturday night.
The Missouri Comets also had a pair of players named to the Team of the Week, with forward Bryan Perez leading his side to a 24-13 win against the St. Louis Ambush on Sunday. Perez had two goals and three assists, and was backed by defender John Sosa, who had a goal and four assists to help lead the Comets to victory.
The Team of the Week was completed by the St. Louis Ambush's Jeff DiMaria, who had a hat trick as his side fell against the Missouri Comets.
The MISL continues this holiday break with the Silver Knights in three road games, including a big match-up at the Independence Events Center on Saturday night as the Syracuse Silver Knights (5-1) and Missouri Comets (4-1) clash at 8:35 p.m. ET. The Knights then travel to St. Louis in a rematch against the Ambush (2-4) Sunday at 4:35 p.m. ET. Syracuse then takes on Milwaukee in a New Years Eve showdown at 3:00 p.m. ET on Tuesday, December 31st.
