Twisters Play Historic Game

Massachusetts Twisters News Release
The Philadelphia KIXX hosts the Massachusetts Twisters, at the Wachovia Spectrum this Saturday night. This will be the last time a professional indoor soccer team from Massachusetts will play there.
The Twisters will play their home games at the 5,500 seats Eastern States Coliseum, which has been the home of the team for its previous six seasons in the American Indoor Soccer League.
The NISL features the Baltimore Blast, the 2008 MISL champion, the Philadelphia Kixx, la Raza de Monterrey (Mexico), as well as the Rampage and Twisters. Many of the top indoor players in the world play in the NISL, including stars such as Denison Cabral (Baltimore), Jamar Beasley (Rockford), Genoni Martinez (Monterrey), and Pete Pappas (Philadelphia).
All five members of the NISL have been champions of the respective leagues they have previously played in. The Baltimore Blast are five time indoor champions, having most recently won the 2008 MISL title, after defeating Monterrey in a nationally televised game last April on Fox Soccer Channel.
The Twisters opened their inaugural NISL campaign on Saturday night, November 15th when they traveled to face the Philadelphia Kixx at the Spectrum. Neil Krause scored the first goal of the 2008 NISL season. The Twisters will kick off a 3 game home stand of their schedule on February 14, when the Blast will come to the Big E for a 7:35PM kickoff.
