The Major Indoor Soccer League has recently released its November players of the month.
Offensive
Lucio, Baltimore Blast
Blast forward Lucio Gonzaga led the Blast to a 19-8 win over the Philadelphia KiXX on November 21. Gonzaga, in his first game of the season, recorded a hat trick with a three-point goal and two two-point goals for seven points on the night. He currently leads the Blast with seven points and is tied to rank fourth in the MISL. Gonzaga, the 2009 XSL Offensive Player of the Year, re-joins the Blast this season after winning a championship in Baltimore in 2008.
