MISL Kansas City Comets

Classic Rivalry Kicks off New Year

January 4, 2013 - Major Indoor Soccer League (MISL)
Kansas City Comets News Release


INDEPENDENCE, MO - The Missouri Comets get 2013 started with a visit from their southern rivals, the Wichita Wings this Sunday, January 6th 3:10pm at the Independence Events Center. These two teams opened the season with a home and home series, with the Comets winning both matches. However, a December 21st tilt in Wichita saw the Comets unable to overcome an early deficit and went home with a 10-4 loss.

The Wichita Wings roster is packed with offensive talent, including current MISL Player of the Week, Frederico Moojen and last season's MVP, Geison. Despite this, the Wings will enter this game with the league's second lowest goal total. They average only 4.7 goals per game, fewer than any other team in the MISL.

The Comets offense, led by Byron Alvarez and directed by team captain, Vahid Assadpour, ranks third in the MISL with 73 goals scored this season. Recent road trips and injuries have led to some defensive lapses. December was certainly not kind to the team. Now, fully recovered and restocked with talent, the team is ready to right the ship.

Sunday's game kicks off at 3:10pm and the first 3,000 fans will receive a free nesting doll featuring Comets' stars Brian Harris, Ryan Junge and Boris Pardo. Tickets can be purchased by calling 855.KC.ARENA, visiting CometsIndoorSoccer.com or Ticketmaster.com.
