(Milwaukee, WI) - December 2, 2012 - The Major Indoor Soccer League announced its Players of the Month for November with the Milwaukee Wave's Joe Hammes being named Defensive Player of the Month, the Syracuse Silver Knights' Slavisa Ubiparipovic being named the Offensive Player of the Month and the Baltimore Blast's Sagu being named Goalkeeper of the Month.

Hammes has not only been a key figure in the Wave's defense, which has averaged just nine goals against this season, but also has been a factor offensively. The 32-year-old recorded a hat trick in the Wave's second game of the season, which garnered him Player of the Week consideration, and has 12 points this season, tied for most by a defender.

Ubiparipovic claimed Offensive Player of the Month honors after leading the MISL in points and total goals. The Bosnian recorded a four-goal, 10-point game against Norfolk in the Silver Knights' second game of the season and was a key figure as the expansion side won its first three games of the season.

Sagu was named the MISL Player of the Week for the third week of the season, but has been a model of consistency throughout the month. The 2010-11 MISL Goalkeeper of the Year has recorded a .766 save percentage, more than .040 ahead of his nearest rival, and in the Blast's four victories in the month he recorded a points-against average of 8.25.
