Wichita Wings News Release
WICHITA, Kan. - The Wichita Wings of the Major Indoor Soccer League (MISL) will take on Eastern divisional opponent, the Norfolk SharX, this Friday in the Wings fifth regular season game. Kick-off of the game is scheduled at 7:35pm (CT) on Friday, November 25th at Hartman Arena.

The SharX have failed to keep their opponents out of the net, giving up 44 points while only scoring 14 points during their two game losing streak. The SharX look to kick start their offense this weekend. Following the matchup with the Wings, Norfolk will travel to Missouri to take on the Comets in their first matchup of the season.
The Wichita Wings have been very close to knocking off some of the biggest names of the MISL in their first four games, but have yet to come away with a victory. The Wings played host to the Baltimore Blast last Saturday night falling 12-6 in a well fought match by both sides. The Wings look to turn their season around this weekend, starting with their home game against the Norfolk SharX. Following Friday night's game, the Wings will hit the road, traveling to Milwaukee to hopefully gain some revenge for the teams early season loss against the Wave. That game will be played on Sunday, November 27th, kicking off at 3:00pm (CT).
Key match-ups: Jamar Beasley vs. Jamie Lieberman Leading the Wichita Wings, Jamar has tallied 6 goals and 3 assists in 4 games.

Farias was named the 2009-2010 MISL Most Valuable Player of the year playing for Monterrey. Farias will look to get back to his goal scoring form this weekend.
