Kansas City Comets News Release
INDEPENDENCE, MO - Fans of the Missouri Comets have embraced their young team as they have progressed over the past three years. That passion stems from an ardent love of the past Comets teams and players. The current franchise will honor the team's rich history in this Saturday's Third Annual Retro Game against the Rochester Lancers at 7:35 pm in the Independence Events Center.
The Rochester Lancers roster is more talented than their 5-10 record indicates. F Doug Miller is currently tied with the Comets own Byron Alvarez as the league's best scorers, each with 60 points. Rochester F Mauricio Salles is close behind with 52 points and a 3rd place spot on the leagues scoring leader board. The Lancers hope Goalie Gavin McInerny can turn out a solid performance, as the team intends to improve its 1-5 road record on the season.
The Comets will look to defenders Brian Harris and Ryan Junge to continue their high level of play against Rochester's high scoring duo. Together they are an integral part of a defense that ranks third in the Major Indoor Soccer League (MISL) for blocks.
Saturday's game kicks off at 7:35 pm. Fans in attendance will enjoy the Comets retro jerseys, honoring the 1992-93 NPSL Champion Kansas City Attack. Alumni in attendance will include former stars like Gino Schiraldi, Kia, and Jim Schwab who will participate in an exhibition matchup during halftime of the game. Also making a special appearance will be U.S. Women's National team and FC Kansas City defender, Becky Sauerbrunn.
