Juice Boxes and Post Game Stats: Comets Beat Savage

In a rematch of last year’s MASL Ron Newman Cup Finals, the Kansas City Comets took down the visiting Chihuahua Savage 5-2 at Cable Dahmer Arena. The Comets got a pair of goals from Chad Vandegriffe along with goals from Zach Reget, Lesia Thetsane and a first MASL goal for Nathan Durdle in the win. The game was everything fans of indoor soccer would have wanted from the game, it was high intensity, high pressure game, it had the feel of a playoff game and had a playoff atmosphere with over 5,100 in attendance for the game. It’s a game that in retrospect the league will be extremely pleased was on the Golazo network as it was a fantastic advertisement for the league and for the two prospective ownership groups that were reportedly at the game on Saturday night.
