Risers scoring star, Gunners standout netminder earn Player of Week honors

TAMPA, Florida -- Fiskret Hasovic of the Muskegon Risers and Connor Russell of the Buffalo Gunners have been selected as the Major Arena Soccer League 3 Players of the Week.

Hasovic took the Offensive Player of the Week honor after an incredible performance against Detroit Waza Flo when he had a hand in 14 of his teams' 15 goals. He scored nine and had five assists in a 15-5 win, which helped the Muskegon Risers to a win in all three of their weekend games. He on the season has 30 points (19 goals and 11 assists) in six starts this year.

Russell was part of an improved defensive effort for the Buffalo Gunners, who fell to Rochester 8-5. Before this weekend, Roc City had scored at least 20 or more goals in all their wins but one, and in that one, they scored 17. Russell was also the winning goaltender earlier in the season when he held the high-scoring Cleveland Samba to just  a half dozen goals in a 7-6 win. He plays collegiately for the Alfred University Saxons.
