The Columbus Crew enjoyed a perfect 3-0 month of March and they landed one player on the SBI MLS Best XI of the Month for March for each win they registered.
SBI MLS Player of the Week Federico Higuain leads a group of Crew players that includes Michael Parkhurst and young midfielder Wil Trapp.
Americans dominated the first month’s Best XI, with a total of eight domestic players making the list. Of those eight, only FC Dallas central defender Matt Hedges doesn’t have either a U.S. Men’s Nationa Team cap or experience with U.S. youth national teams.
Here is the SBI MLS Best XI of the Month for March:
