IAN BENNETT CAPTURES MASL MVP HONOR

CARLSBAD, CA. APRIL 9, 2021 - The Major Arena Soccer League's 2021 Most Valuable Player has been announced and it is the Florida Tropics' forward Ian Bennett.

Bennett appeared in 13 regular season games and led the league in points (27) and goals (19). Bennett was tied for the league lead with three power play goals and also had two game-winners for Florida. 

Each active MASL player, head coach, and one member of each team front office were invited to submit one ballot. Voting was based on the regular season performances.

Calculating the 1st, 2nd and 3rd All-MASL Teams are based on a point system. Players receive three points for a 1st team vote, two points for the 2nd team, and one point for a 3rd team vote. The highest number of points is then calculated to determine three Forward/Midfielders in each team, then two Defenders, and one GK. In case of a tie in points, it is determined by who had more 1st team votes, then 2nd team. The All-Rookie Team is selected by the highest total votes by position (F, M/F, D, GK). Individual Major Awards are based on the highest number of total votes. Tiebreakers go to the player with the most all league points or it can be determined a tie.
