Storm's Tijani Ayegbusi Earns MISL Weekly Award
January 24, 2005 - Major Indoor Soccer League 2 (MISL 2)
Chicago Storm News Release
Chicago (Monday, January 24, 2005) - Chicago Storm defender Tijani Ayegbusi earns MISL Defensive Player of the Week honors for the first time. He becomes only the second Storm player to earn the award as Costea Decu captured it earlier in the season. Ayegbusi was a key performer for a Storm defensive unit that allowed only seven goals in wins over Cleveland (8-4 on Friday) and Milwaukee (7-3 on Sunday) this past weekend at the UIC Pavilion in Chicago. Thanks in large part to Ayegbusi's efforts, Chicago stifled the opposition and permitted a total of 27 shots in the two games. On Sunday, he found time to get involved offensively as well, with a pair of assists. The former member of the Nigerian Under-23 National Team becomes the second Storm player honored as Defensive Player of the Week this season.
Also receiving accolade this week at Cleveland Force goalkeeper Jim Larkin for MISL Goalkeeper of the Week and Kansas City Comets forwad James Koehler for MISL Offensive Player of the Week.
The Storm returns to action this Friday, January 28 when they take on the MISL- leading St. Louis Steamers at the UIC Pavilion, kicking off at 7:30 p.m. CT. The game can be heard live on www.chicagostorm.net in English and on Univision Radio WRTO 1200 AM in Spanish.
