Chicago Storm News Release


Chicago (Friday, April 22, 2005) – After defeating the two-time MISL champions Baltimore Blast in a heart-pounding, last second victory, 6-5, last weekend at the UIC Pavilion to keep their playoff hopes alive, the Chicago Storm will travel to St. Louis, MO to face the Steamers on Saturday, April 23 at 7:00 p.m. CT at the Savvis Center. The game can be heard live on www.chicagostorm.net. The Storm could be in a do-or-die situation on Saturday evening when they battle the Steamers, but the "Yellow and Black" need help.

St. Louis will meet the Kansas City Comets on Friday, April 22 at Kemper arena in Kansas City, MO at 7:35 p.m. CT. The Comets need to defeat the Steamers for the Storm to remain alive in the playoff hunt. If St. Louis wins either of the two games over the weekend, then they will qualify as the fourth and final playoff team in the MISL (Milwaukee Wave, Philadelphia KiXX, Cleveland Force have already clinched playoff berths).
