Wichita Wings News Release
Wichita, Kan. - The Wichita Wings of the Major Indoor Soccer League (MISL) fell short in their final home game of the 2011-2012 season tonight. In front of a sold out crowd of 4,860 the Wichita Wings could not find the back of the net on countless attempts.
The game started off slowly for the Wings going scoreless well into the second quarter. Rochester accumulated 8 unanswered points, two in the first quarter by Doug Miller and Mauricio Salles, and two in the second quarter by Kyle Manscuk and Gary Boughton before Wichita ever found the back of the net.
Wichita finally found the back of the net when Wings Defender Jamie Harding scored an assisted Angel Rivillo two pointer 9:48 into the game. Rochester answered quickly with an unassisted Gary Boughton goal, his second of the evening. With 11:32 left in the second, Wings Midfielder Bryan Perez scored an unassisted two pointer, giving the Wings momentum rolling into the third quarter and putting the team down by only 6.
Energy continued to build for the Wings in the third quarter when rookie Midfielder Kevin Ten Eyck scored a two pointer on a Wichita powerplay, bringing Wichita within 4; down 10-6. However, once again, Rochester quickly responded with a Mauricio Salles three pointer on a Lancers powerplay, assisted by Carlos Farias. The Wings would not be content taking a loss easily, and answered with an unassisted Angle Rivillo two pointer. Going into the fourth quarter, the Wings trailed 13-8.
The Lancers appeared to have the game on lock-down until with 6:18 left to play in the fourth quarter, Wings Forward Jamar Beasley struck gold with an assisted Angel Rivillo two pointer, bringing Wichita within three. With less than 5 minutes to play, Wichita employed their sixth attacker, but attempt after attempt failed as the Wings looked to find the back of the net. Rochester's Doug Miller did find the back of the net one more time, giving the Lancers three more points and the win with a final score of 16-10.
The Wichita Wings return to action next Thursday, February 23 when they meet once again with the Rochester Lancers in Rochester.
