Kansas City Comets News Release


INDEPENDENCE, Missouri (July 30, 2014) - The Major Arena Soccer League announced its divisional alignment for the 2014/15 season and continued its offseason transformation with today's launch of www.maslsoccer.com.

Twenty-three teams will be separated into four divisions: Eastern, Central, Southern, and Pacific.

The Eastern Division will be composed of the Baltimore Blast, Harrisburg Heat, Rochester Lancers, Syracuse Silver Knights, and Detroit Waza Flo. The Central Division lists the Milwaukee Wave, Chicago Mustangs, Tulsa Revolution, St. Louis Ambush, Missouri Comets, and Wichita B-52s.

The Southern Division will feature the Dallas Sidekicks, Monterrey Flash, Hidalgo La Fiera, Brownsville Barracudas, Saltillo Rancho Seco, and Oxford City of Texas (formerly Texas Strikers). The San Diego Sockers, Las Vegas Legends, Ontario Fury, Seattle Impact, Turlock Express, and Sacramento Surge will compete in the Pacific Division.

Every team will face each of its divisional rivals at least one time home and away.

For the Comets, the Central Division appears to be one of the more competitive divisions in the league, highlighted by the reigning PASL Champions (Chicago Mustangs) and the reigning MISL Champions (Comets), along with the Milwaukee Wave, who were back-to-back MISL Champs in 2011 and 2012.

"This alignment allows us to create new, close rivalries while maintaining old ones with our counterparts in Milwaukee and St. Louis, said Team President, Brian Budzinski. "It also gives our fans multiple opportunities to support the Comets on the road with so many opponents within driving distance to Kansas City."

Continuing its partnership with Pointstreak Sports, the new MASL website features improved graphics and easy navigation to the league's 23 teams.

In addition to the MASL site, Pointstreak hosts sites for the Wichita B-52s, Seattle Impact, Tulsa Revolution, Turlock Express, and Oxford City Texas.
