MISL names players of the week

October 25, 2004 - Major Indoor Soccer League 2 (MISL 2) News Release


GOALKEEPER OF THE WEEK

Nick Vorberg, Milwaukee Wave

Vorberg was solid in goal in leading Milwaukee to an 8-3 win on the road against the Chicago Storm on Oct. 23. The 29-year-old goalkeeper made 13 saves in Milwaukee's season opener and was especially effective as in the second half when he allowed just one third-quarter goal and blanked the Storm the rest of the way. A native of Grants Pass, Ore., Vorberg began his professional career in 1997, and is a three-year MISL veteran, and a former MISL All-Star who is beginning his second season with the Wave. Vorberg was 9-5 with a 4.67 goals-against-average in 14 starts with Milwaukee in 2003-04. He was named the MISL Goalkeeper of the Week once in 2003-04 (Oct.20).

DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK

Pat Morris, Philadelphia KiXX

Morris was both a defensive and offensive standout in Philadelphia's 11-8 victory over Cleveland on Oct. 25. The three-time MISL All-Star and three-time All-MISL selection scored three times, including two second-half tallies, and totaled two assists and three blocks as the KiXX surrendered a second-half lead before rallying to regain the advantage and top the Force. Despite missing seven games last season due to illness, Morris led Philadelphia in blocks (63) and finished third in points (34). The 27-year-old Philadelphia, Penn., native is in his sixth season with the KiXX. Morris was honored as the MISL's Defensive Player of the Week three times last season (Dec. 29, Jan. 12, Feb. 9) and was also named the MISL Defensive Player of the Month on two occasions (Jan., Feb.).

OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK

Dino Delevski, Kansas City Comets

Delevski started strong and finished strong in the Kansas City's opener with the Sockers in San Diego on Oct. 24, scoring in the first and fourth quarters in the Comets 6-4 victory. The two-time MISL Spalding Scoring Champion and two-time MISL Most Valuable Player totaled two goals and two assists in the game, including the game-winning goal, which Delevski scored off a penalty kick 3:24 into the fourth quarter. The 28-year-old native of Skopje, Macedonia, has been both an All-Star and an All-League selection in each of the past four seasons, and has averaged a remarkable 1.7 goals per game since coming to Kansas City in 2001. In 2003-2004, Delevski finished second in the MISL in goals (43) and fourth in points (63). He was twice named the MISL Offensive Player of the Week in 2003-04 (Feb. 9, Mar. 15).
