Force Gets Snow Day

Cleveland Force News Release


Just like every school kid dreams of a snow day, the Cleveland Force had a snow day as well. The game between the Force and the Dallas Sidekicks on Sunday evening was cancelled due to the fact the Sidekicks had their flight cancelled from Baltimore. Dallas was left in Baltimore when the airport and all ground transportation were shut down.

The MISL does not often get its version of a rain out like Major League Baseball but in this case Mother Nature proved to be the deciding factor in the game being cancelled.

The game is rescheduled for Tuesday night at 8:05 p.m.

EXTRA SESSION:

The Force played their second overtime game of the season last Saturday night. The overtime game marked the second extra session in a 10-day period.

The Force now has a mark of 1-1 in overtime games after defeating the San Diego Sockers 10-8. Ironically, both of the overtime games were decided by a mark of 10-8. Cleveland lost the first extra session game 10-8 to the Milwaukee Wave.

LEGEND MAKES FINAL TRIP:

The game on Sunday with the Dallas Sidekicks will mark the final trip to Cleveland for the legendary Tatu as a player.

Tatu, who announced that he was going to retire after this season, is in his 21st season of indoor soccer and his 18th with the Sidekicks. Tatu is the second all-time leading scorer in indoor soccer history with 1,591 trailing Hector Marinaro (2,749).

FORCE TALK SHOW:

Head Coach Andy Schmetzer and a Force player will join host Matt Loede every Thursday afternoon from 2:00-3:00 p.m. on Sportstalkcleveland.com for the Cleveland Force Talk Show.

The head coach and the players will discuss the MISL, the team and the upcoming games.

POST-GAME HEADQUARTERS:

The Cleveland Hilton Garden Inn is the official post game party headquarters of the Cleveland Force. After every home game, Force players will be in attendance to talk with fans as well as sign autographs. The Hilton Garden Inn is located at 1100 Carnegie Avenue between the Convocation Center at CSU and Jacobs Field. The Force players will arrive 30-45 minutes after the conclusion of the game.
