Joey Meehan
Meehan and the Cyclones won both their games this past weekend, knocking off the Wizards on Saturday, and then the Warriors on Sunday.

Meehan's seven-point weekend gives him 32 total points on the season (17 goals, 15 assists), and moves him into the top-20 in league scoring. With 18 points in his last 10 games, the Ohio native will look to keep things going at the MLK Day Showcase when the Cyclones take on the Revolution, Little Flyers, and Jr. Flyers.
Sam Kany
