February 21, 2014 - Major Indoor Soccer League (MISL) Missouri Comets INDEPENDENCE, Missouri (February 21, 2014) - The Missouri Comets get ready for the playoffs with a pair games against their Midwest rivals, the St. Louis Ambush and the Milwaukee Wave. Saturday game at home matches the Comets against the St. Louis Ambush, before they head north to Milwaukee for Sunday afternoon tilt with the Wave.
The St. Louis game is the fifth matchup of the season and the final one at the Independence Events Center. So far, the Comets have controlled the series, outscoring the expansion Ambush 90-32 in the four previous games.
Forward Leo Gibson leads the way for the Comets and the entire MISL with 59 points. Against St. Louis, Gibson has scored 15 points including a six-point effort in the last match on January 24th.
St. Louis is in the midst of a six-game losing streak and has had trouble defending their net, giving up an average of 18 points during that span. Goalkeeper Jeff Richey has faced nearly 100 more shots than any other keeper in the league.
Milwaukee currently leads the league with a record of 14-2. Both of their losses have come against the Comets, and they needed overtime to avoid a third loss in the teams' season opener. They are led by Ian Bennett, who is tied with Gibson for the league lead in scoring.
Missouri bolstered their squad at the roster change deadline with the addition of three players. Brendan Allen (GK) and Alain Matingou (D) have been training with the team since the beginning of the season and will provide great depth.
The team also traded with the Pennsylvania Roar for forward Max Touloute. The "Haitian Sensation" played five games for the Roar this season and scored 7 of the team's 21 goals during that span.
Tickets for Saturday's match are available at Ticketmaster outlets, ticketmaster.com or the Silverstein Eye Centers Box Office at the Independence Events Center. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:35p.m. CT. Following the match, the Comets will be presented with the I-70 Trophy as the winners of the I-70 series between the Comets and the Ambush.
