Comets Close Season On Road

As the final week of the Major Indoor Soccer League begins, the playoff picture begins to take focus. The Missouri Comets, along with the Baltimore Blast and Milwaukee Wave have each earned a spot in the tournament, with one spot still remaining. The Comets final regular season opponent, the Chicago Soul, currently holds onto the fourth and final place in the standings.
The game holds importance for both teams. A win for Missouri assures the Comets of the third seed in the playoffs and a date with the Milwaukee Wave for the third straight preseason. Chicago would clinch a place in the playoffs with a victory.
The Comets will be without the services of Leo Gibson, who is serving a suspension following a red card received last Friday against the Soul. On Sunday, also without Gibson, Brian Harris and Mads Falck stepped up to secure the Comets victory over the Wichita Wings and the team’s place in the postseason. To be successful in Chicago tomorrow, the Comets will look for more players to assert themselves. Jeff Richey, the goalkeeper for the Chicago Soul, has been difficult for the Missouri offense to solve. Last Friday night, he was six seconds away from shutting out the Comets for the first time in modern team history.
Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. CT on Wednesday. Fans are invited to watch with the Comets Nation fan club at Coach’s Bar & Grille, or they can tune in to the action on MISLNation.com.
The Comets will return home for the MISL Playoffs semifinal series on March 7th at 7:35 p.m. CT.
