Pat Morris, Philadelphia KiXX
Veteran defender Pat Morris anchored the KiXX defense while also leading the offense in points this past weekend as Philadelphia swept the Rockford Rampage in a home-and-home series.  Morris made his return to the City of Brotherly Love a historic one this past Saturday in the team’s home opener at the Liacouras Center, registering eight points on a hat trick and two assists in a 23-20 victory, also scoring the 175th goal of his decorated career.  The next night, he led the KiXX attack with four points on a pair of goals in a 10-9 win. For the weekend, he recorded 12 points on five goals and two assists while also tallying a team-high four blocks.  Morris leads the MISL with 14 blocks and is tied to rank sixth in the league with 21 points; his 21 points put him second among all defenders in points.
