INDEPENDENCE, Miss. (March 13, 2016) - For the second consecutive season, the Missouri Comets will square off against the Baltimore Blast in the Eastern Conference Championship after eliminating Milwaukee in the Divisional Round. Coach Vlatko Andonovski's team swept the Wave with a 6-2 win in Game Two in front of 3,004 fans at the Silverstein Eye Centers Arena.
The Comets have now secured a spot in the final four. Dates and times of the Conference series will be announced in the coming hours.
With a hat trick in the match, the Haitian Sensation Max Touloute was named Borden Man of the Match. In addition, goalkeeper Boris Pardo recorded a total of 12 saves in the match and held Milwaukee to only two goals.
Just three minutes into the match, the Comets got on the board when team captain and league leader Vahid Assadpour notched his first goal of the playoffs with a restart tally assisted by John Sosa. However, the Wave answered right back when Max Ferdinand found the back of the net assisted by Sean Totsch.
From that moment, Missouri dominated the game. Two more goals in the first scored by John Sosa and Max Touloute and another by Alain Matingou late in the second, ended the half with a 4-1 score.
Throughout the third period, the Comets continued to keep the ball and added two more tallies courtesy of Kevin Ten Eyck and Touloute making it 6-1.
Early in the final quarter, Milwaukee's leading scorer Ian Bennett shortened the lead for the Wave assisted by former Comets player Stefan St. Louis before Ramone Palmer capitalized on a 2v1 opportunity making it 7-2.
Twenty seconds later, Touloute completed his hat trick after a mistake from sixth attacker Jonathan Greenfield to seal the 8-2 win in Game Two of the Ron Newman Cup Playoffs Divisional Round.
