February 7, 2015 - Major Arena Soccer League (MASL)
Kansas City Comets News Release
INDEPENDENCE, Mo (February 8, 2015) - The Missouri Comets (17-0) will try to sweep the series and add another victory to their seventeen-game winning streak when they visit the Wichita B-52's (8-8) at Hartman Arena on Sunday.
The match will feature both head coaches play multiple shifts throughout the four quarters as a way to honor former Comets player and coach Kim "The Rocket" Roentved's indoor soccer career.
Both teams will meet for the third team this season. The reigning MISL Champions defeated Wichita twice at the Independence Events Center, a 13-3 victory on November 22 and a 12-3 win on December 13.
Andonovski's team is coming from a solid 10-5 victory over the St. Louis Ambush on Friday night at the Family Arena. On the other hand, the men in orange will host the Milwaukee Wave at 7:05 p.m. CT tonight.
With seven points (three goals and four assists) on Friday, league leader Leo Gibson stands at the top of the table totaling 68 points, while the B-52's are led by Matt Clare who has scored 24 times and recorded 6 assists for a total of 30 points.
Goalkeeper Boris Pardo, forward Byron Alvarez and midfielders Chaz ODell and Johnny Markey have all played for the Comets in the past.
The B-52's can still clinch a playoff berth depending on Milwaukee and Chicago's results towards the end of the regular season. On the other hand, the Comets secured the Central Division title two weeks ago.
Next up, the Comets will return to the Independence Events Center on Valentine's Day when they host the Tulsa Revolution.
