December 20, 2013 - Major Indoor Soccer League (MISL) Missouri Comets INDEPENDENCE, MO (December 20, 2013) - Riding a three-game winning streak, the Missouri Comets get ready to welcome the expansion St. Louis Ambush to the Independence Events Center on Sunday afternoon. This is actually the third meeting of the I-70 series between these two teams, with the Comets victorious in two trips to their rival earlier this season. Kickoff is scheduled for 5:10p.m. CT and the first 2,500 fans in attendance will receive a Harry S. Truman Comets Bobblehead.

Coming off arguably their best game of the season, the Comets are looking to continue their successful start to this year's campaign. Winners of three straight games, the team has exploded on offense. Missouri has scored more points than any other team in the league, despite having played fewer games than all but the Baltimore Blast. The Comets average 19 points per game and have four players with 10 or more points so far this season. The team has balanced their game with a defense that has only allowed ten goals over the past three games.

The St. Louis Ambush are two games into their four-game December road trip. Last weekend they claimed victory against the previously unbeaten Syracuse Silver Knights before handing the Rochester Lancers only their second victory on Sunday. Against the Comets they have lost by a large margin (28-7 on November 23rd) and in overtime (12-10 on November 29th). They are led by 6'2" Odaine Sinclair and 6'3" Daniel Antoniuk, who use their size advantage well, scoring over half of their team's goals.

The first 2,500 fans to enter the Independence Events Center on Sunday will receive a Harry S. Truman Bobblehead courtesy of Independence Tourism. The Comets Family Four Pack (four tickets, four hot dogs, four sodas) is still available for $44 plus fees at all Ticketmaster outlets and ticketmaster.com.
