Waza Flo News Release
(Detroit, MI) Detroit WAZA FLO continued their unbeaten streak with a 4-3 win on the road against the Illinois Piasa on Saturday however they found no magic on Sunday with an 8-7 loss against the Kansas Magic.
"The games we played this weekend were as difficult as we've played all season." said head-coach Costea Decu. "I thought we were okay. These weren't our best played games for sure. Scoring is challenging to do, but it's always harder when you are away. When we are home, I think, we play with a little more confidence."
While the Illinois Piasa took the lead by two in the second quarter of Saturday's game, Costea Decu started off the fireworks for Detroit by hitting a sterling strike on a power play. Midfielder Miki Djerisilo added to the tally in the third to tie the match. Forward Dominic Scicluna slipped the ball through on a power play less than five minutes into the fourth quarter, followed by defender Zack Wilkes who fired a shot into the back of the net a mere 26 seconds later icing the win for Detroit.
"At halftime we realized we weren't moving well. We weren't playing as hard as we should. We just realized we wanted the win more than we showed in the first half," added Dominic Scicluna.
Despite the victory over Illinois, Detroit saw their unbeaten streak snap with a loss to the Kansas Magic on Sunday. After a sluggish start for both teams, the Magic exploded with a 3-2 advantage over Detroit in the 2nd quarter.
Detroit followed with two additional goals in the 3rd but the Magic one upped Detroit with three. This back and forth pattern continued for the balance of the game with Kansas sealing the victory, 8-7. WAZA's scoring was led by Miki Djerisilo and Costea Decu with two goals each and brothers Tino and Dominic Scicluna having one apiece, shadowed by forward Darrel Quinn with his first score of the season.
After two weeks off, The WAZA FLO will be back home Saturday, December 17th to play the Cincinnati Kings at the Taylor Sportsplex, 7:35 kick-off.
