Juice Boxes and Post Game Stats: Comets Season Ends in San Diego

The Kansas City Comets season ended on Saturday night in San Diego in the first round of the Ron Newman Cup Playoffs in an 11-7 loss to the Milwaukee Wave. The game had been a back and forth, punch, counter punch game until late in the third quarter when the Wave went on a 4-0 run, taking a 5-5 game to a 9-5 game, effectively getting out of reach.
