Maicon de Abreu (Ontario Fury) – de Abreu helped the Fury nearly complete their comeback against Soles last Thursday. He provided the assist to get the Fury within a goal, then scored the equalizer late in the game to briefly tie it up at 4-4.

MIDFIELD:

Tony Donatelli (Baltimore Blast) – The Baltimore Blast continue their dominance in the Eastern Division. This weekend Donatelli scored two goals on the road in the team’s win against the Harrisburg Heat.

Omar Santillan (Monterrey Flash) – The Monterrey Flash had their hands full against the San Diego Sockers on Sunday, but kept their unbeaten record intact, thanks to Santillan. The Flash’s forward outpaced the Sockers by himself, scoring four goals while San Diego only managed three.
