Comets Race Towards Playoffs

The Missouri Comets are set to play the MISL-leading Milwaukee Wave at the Independence Events Center this Sunday, February 17th at 3:10pm. The game will be the Comets Annual PINK game. Comets players will be wearing special pink jerseys that fans will be able to purchase in a LIVE auction immediately following the game.
The Milwaukee Wave come into the Independence Events Center with the league's longest winning streak at 16 games. This is the first of five straight road games for the Wave that will take them through the end of February. In order to be successful, the Comets will need to find a way to stop Luan Oliveira on Sunday. The rookie leads the team with 53 points and notched six points against Missouri on February 2nd.
After defeating Milwaukee at U.S. Cellular Arena in overtime on November 11th, the Comets have not been able to match the feat in two more attempts this season. They came close on February 2nd when they battled back and forth for three quarters with the Wave. Ultimately, they fell 29-15 after the Comets pulled goalkeeper Danny Waltman for the sixth attacker and the Wave took advantage of the open net.
Milwaukee has clinched a spot in the four-team MISL Playoff tournament. The Comets currently sit in third place, one game ahead of the Chicago Soul and 2.5 games ahead of the Rochester Lancers with four games left to play in the regular season.
For the second straight season, the Comets will auction off their special Pink game jerseys immediately following the game, with a portion of the proceeds benefitting The Ali Kemp Educational Foundation (TAKE Foundation).
