December 24, 2013 - Major Indoor Soccer League (MISL)
Kansas City Comets News Release
INDEPENDENCE, MO (December 24, 2013) - The Major Indoor Soccer League announced on Tuesday that the Missouri Comets had a pair of players named to the Team of the Week for the sixth week of the 2013-14 regular season, with forward Bryan Perez leading his side to a 24-13 win against the St. Louis Ambush on Sunday. Perez had two goals and three assists, and was backed by defender John Sosa, who had a goal and four assists to help lead the Comets to victory.
Baltimore Blast midfielder Max Ferdinand was been named the MISL Player of the Week. Ferdinand recorded seven goals, and 16 points, over two games as the Blast took a home-and-home sweep of the Pennsylvania Roar.
Ferdinand entered the weekend with just two goals and six points, but was in fine form against the Roar. Returning to Reading, Pa., where he starred as a high school player, Ferdinand had a hat trick, including a 3-pointer, on Friday night, and then followed that with a nine-point night on four goals and one assist on Saturday night at Baltimore Arena. The points surge moved Ferdinand into third place in the MISL's individual point leaders.
Ferdinand was joined on the MISL Team of the Week by goalkeeper William Vanzela, who earned a berth for the second consecutive week after recording an eight-save shutout against the Roar on Saturday night.
The Team of the Week was completed by the Syracuse Silver Knights' Kenardo Forbes, who had a pair of goals as his side moved into sole possession of first in the league standings with a 10-7 win against Rochester, and the St. Louis Ambush's Jeff DiMaria, who had a hat trick as his side fell against the Missouri Comets.
The Comets are home again on December 28th to take on the league-leading Syracuse Silver Knights at 7:35p.m. CT. The team will be welcoming media from newspaper, TV, Radio and the internet for the annual Comets Media Game at halftime.
