As we roll closer to the holiday season, the Major Arena Soccer League action is just starting to heat up. Congratulations to all of the players selected to this week’s MASL Team of the Week.

The MASL Team of the Week is selected using the Stars awarded at each game and by soliciting nominations from each team. Players nominated by teams were each awarded three points and stars were awarded 3 points (1st Star), 2 points (2nd star) and 1 Point (3rd star) respectively.

GOALKEEPER:
William Vanzela (Baltimore Blast) – William Vanzela has always been known for being one of the MASL’s top goalkeepers. On Sunday, he proved why. Facing 14 shots, he saved all but one of them to post a .929 Save Percentage, and more importantly, help his team to a 10-1 win at home.

DEFENSE:
