Joining Bennett on the forward line on the MISL Team of the Week are a pair of players who each recorded hat tricks in their sides’ season-opening wins. Baltimore’s Marco Mangione had three goals as the Blast took a 19-8 win against Rochester on Saturday, while Syracuse’s Slavisa Ubiparipovic, the 2011 MISL Rookie of the Year, led the Silver Knights past the Pennsylvania Roar on Friday night in the opening game of the season.

Ubiparipovic’s teammate, Nelson Santana, joins him on the Team of the Week after his two goals and solid defensive play also factored into the Silver Knights’ victory. Missouri’s Leo Gibson takes the other defensive spot after a seven-point night in defeat against Milwaukee, while Baltimore’s William Vanzela takes the goalkeeper position after recording 13 saves on 17 shots in the Blast’s win against Rochester.
