MASL SELECTS SANCHEZ FOR OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK HONORS.

The Major Arena Soccer League (MASL) announced today that Milwaukee Wave Forward, Alex Sanchez, has been named Offensive Player of the Week for Week 4 of MASL action.

Alex Sanchez’s 2025-26 campaign has been impressive, propelling himself as a top candidate for the MASL MVP award. He has been recognized as the Week 4 Offensive Player of the Week for his emphatic performance against the Baltimore Blast on Friday, December 19th. Sanchez stands just two goals behind first place on the season scoring leaderboard, playing three less games than the league scoring leader, and bolstering the league high goals per game average of 1.75 goals. 

Sanchez was asked about the importance of these individual recognitions and his response was humble. “If it happens, I’ll take it. But for me, it’s not really something that I think of game in and game out,” Sanchez said. The 25-year-old superstar has shown his prowess and hunger for winning in his time with the Milwaukee Wave. Sanchez says that each game he asks himself the following question, “What can I do to help the team get the result?” While grateful for his individual recognitions, winning the game will always come first. The Milwaukee Wave did just that in their home opener on Friday, defeating the Baltimore Blast 7-6 in an overtime competition with Sanchez’s four goals leading the way, accompanied by his game winning goal. 

In his fourth season with the Milwaukee Wave, Sanchez understands how imperative it is to read the emotions and pacing of an indoor soccer game. Performing in a close rivalry matchup is one of the great challenges in a league which moves as quickly as the MASL. “You have to manage those shifts, stay focused,” Sanchez said.

The Milwaukee Wave are on the road this weekend with their rigorous east coast road trip where they will meet the Baltimore Blast again, this time at TU Arena in Baltimore, Maryland on Saturday, December 27 at 3:00pm CST before heading north to face Utica City FC the following afternoon. 

The Milwaukee Wave return to UW Milwaukee Panther Arena for their historic New Years Eve game where they will play the Empire Strykers, Wednesday, December 31 at 3:05pm.
