Juice Boxes and Post Game Stats: Marques Closes in on Century Mark

The Kansas City Comets didn’t have a great Valentine’s Day on Saturday night at Cable Dahmer Arena as they fell in a shootout to the San Diego Sockers after a 6-6 draw through regulation and overtime. Goals by Zach Reget (two), Ignacio Flores, Rian Marques, David Stankovic, and Dominic Francis weren’t enough. The goal by Marques brings him closer to his 100th league goal for KC. It’s the first of five games for the Comets against the Sockers in their final eight games of the regular season. The one point from the shootout loss puts the Comets back in front of the MASL standings currently, but they’ve also played three or four more games than any other team in the league at this point. They sit one point ahead of the Milwaukee Wave in second place, and just two points ahead of the Sockers who sit in third at the moment.

Here are the stats and milestones from the game.
