"I know they (Comets)are not happy about the way they lost in overtime the last time we played them," said Milwaukee Wave Head Coach Giuliano Oliviero. "They'll have the home crowd this time and we're expecting a hostile environment but we seem to have a rhythm going and we want to carry that into Sunday."
Looking back at the2023-2024 season, the Kansas City Comets eliminated the Milwaukee Wave from the playoffs in overtime. The seasons prior; of the 5 times the two teams played, in 22-23 and 21-22; the Kansas City Comets took the season series 3 games to 2 both times.
"This rivalry continues to cultivate and grow," exclaimed Oliviero. "And then you add in one of the premiere targets in the league in Rian Marques, and we know what Zach Reget has done to us in the past and in our home opener; two very dangerous players that we are going to have to slow down. It's going to be intense but we're ready and looking forward to the battle."
