The Comets' Gibson Named To MISL Team Of The Week

The Major Indoor Soccer League announced today the lineup for Week 14's Team of the Week. Missouri's Leo Gibson claimed Team of the Week honors for a third consecutive week after his hat trick, and game-winning goal, led the Comets to a 12-11 win against the Rochester Lancers on Friday night. Gibson now leads all defenders with 58 points this season, and has set a new Comets' record with four hat tricks in a season.

Baltimore Blast defender Mike Lookingland has been named the league's Player of the Week for the 14th week of the 2012-13 season. Lookingland had three goals, one assist and three blocks as the Blast eked out a pair of victories against Syracuse this past weekend.

Joining Lookingland on the Team of the Week is his teammate William Vanzela, who was in goal for both of the Blast's victories this weekend. Vanzela, who sits second in the MISL with an 8.51 goals-against average, recorded 28 saves in the two victories this weekend, conceding just seven goals.

Milwaukee's Luan Oliveira was also named to the Team of the Week for a second consecutive week after helping Milwaukee extend its winning streak to 15 games against Missouri on Saturday. The rookie had two goals and two assists, moving him into the league's Top 10 with 52 points this season.

Rounding out the team are forwards Bato Radoncic of Chicago and Andrew Hoxie of Wichita. Radoncic had a pair of goals for the Soul as they edged out the Wings 8-6 Thursday night, while Hoxie helped keep his side's postseason hopes alive as he scored a hat trick in Wichita's 14-11 win against Rochester on Saturday.

The Comets return to the Independence Events Center on February 10th at 3:10pm. The first 1,500 fans to the game, being sponsored by Citizens Bank & Trust, will receive special Citizens Banks, and a few of them will have great prizes inside. For tickets and information call 855.4KC.GOAL .
