The Missouri Comets closed out the regular season today against the Milwaukee Wave at the Independence Events Center. After the events of Friday where the two teams ended the game in a shoving match, everything was lined up for an extremely physical game. That did not disappoint either, as the two teams combined for 13 blue cards today.

By the end of the Wednesday night's contest at the Independence Events Center the scoreboard looked more like that of a blowout football game rather than a soccer match as the Missouri Comets routed the Syracuse Silver Knights 33 to 12. The Comets showed every indication that they're starting to hit their stride as they improved their record to 11-8 and continued to make their playoff push to secure the second spot in the Central Division with their second win in a row.

It was a big night for the Missouri Comets as they set multiple records at the Independence Events Center in their 33-12 rout over the Syracuse Silver Knights. They set a team record for the largest margin of victory since the teams rebirth, with 21. They tied a league record with 3 players recording a hattrick (Byron Alvarez, Geison, and Vahid Assadpour).

The Comets new signing Bato Radoncic made an immediate impact for the Comets in his first game, as he scored two goals as the Comets continued their push towards a playoff spot with a 14-6 win.
Bato got his Comets career started fairly quickly, as he scored just over 4 minutes into the game to give Missouri the early lead.

Last night in the Missouri Comets' game against the Wichita Wings was the epitome of a back and forth game. Neither team scored 2 goals in a row all night, and there was only one lead the entire game that was more than 1 point. Unfortunately for the Comets though, the Wings ended up getting the last goal and getting the 10-9 win in front of over 8,000 fans at the Sprint Center in downtown KC.

The Missouri Comets wrapped up the Turnpike Trophy last night in Wichita taking out the Wings 13-10 to take the season series with a game remaining. KC now has 4 wins to Wichita's 1. Missouri opened the game quickly, as Brian Harris blasted a 3 point goal only 2 minutes into the game to give the Comets the lead.

The Missouri Comets found themselves in a position they've been in quite a few times this season, trailing by a few goals with little time left in the game. Last night in Milwaukee it was the 9 points as the Wave took an 11-2 lead early in the 4th quarter before the Comets made a comeback to cut the lead to 11-7 by the final whistle.

A tight, see-saw contest through the first two quarters turned into a blowout victory for the Missouri Comets as they downed the Syracuse Silver Knights 23-10 on Sunday afternoon at the Independence Events Center. The lead changed hands four times during the first half of a very physical and often chippy contest and the Knights actually took a one point lead early in the third quarter before the Comets unleashed seven unanswered goals on the expansion Syracuse squad to send them on the long drive home with their fifth straight loss.

(Independence, MO) The Syracuse Silver Knights make only one trip this season to the Independence Events Center and they are probably in no hurry to come back. After taking a 10-9 lead early in the 2nd half, the Comets poured on 7 unanswered goals for the 23-10 victory. Lucas Rodriguez, Byron Alvarez and Brian Harris had two goals apiece and Rodriguez and Ryan Junge led the team with five points.

(Milwaukee, WI) They say that defense wins championships and that the best defense is a good offense. The Milwaukee Wave proved both tonight, handing the Comets their 3rd loss of the season, 24-18. Byron Alvarez, Neto and Geison each had two goals for the Comets and the team outscored the Wave 8-2 in the 4th quarter, but not even that was enough to give the Comets a road win.

(Wichita, KS) The MISL season opener matched up two teams with a combined one year of operations between them. You would never know it this old rivalry was renewed with a passion. Brazilian Midfielder Geison proved to be the star of the game as he scored his 5th goal at the 4:29 mark of overtime to give the Comets a 16-14 victory.

The offseason moves continue to take place as MISL teams are building their rosters for the upcoming Indoor Pro Soccer season.
The Comets announced today the signing of defenders Ryan Junge and Stefan Stokic. Pending league approval, both players have signed two year contracts and are a big part of Coach Kim Roentved's plan to build a championship caliber defense to match his already powerful offense.

With the MISL season fast approaching the player signings have already started with the Missouri Comets as they announced their first signings of the 2011 offseason today.
Ibrahim Kante and Brian Harris have both agreed to contracts with the team, Kante for one year and Harris for two.

The Missouri Comets second season is coming up sooner than later, and today the team announced their first two signings for this coming season. One is a returning player, another is a player familiar to Comets fans. Brian Harris, who was on the MISL All-Rookie team last year has signed a two year contract with the Comets to begin his second season with the team.

For three quarters tonight out at the Independence Event Center, the Missouri Comets held the Milwaukee Wave scoreless. And while the fourth quarter the Comets defense finally gave way, the Comets had just enough offense to hold off the Wave, winning 11-5 and taking the advantage to Milwaukee for the second game of the series on Sunday.

There were no iffy calls, no phantom blue cards (there weren't any today), there weren't numerous instances of the Comets being up with 5 on 3 power plays. In the end all the conspiracy theories of the MISL wanting the Comets into the playoffs over the Omaha Vipers and Chicago Riot didn't come true.

The Missouri Comets had a very good week, and it finished off with a personal award for Comets player, Byron Alvarez, who today was named the MISL player of the week. In the Comets two games this past week, he totaled 13 points. In the win over the Omaha Vipers Alvarez scored a hattrick, including the game winning goal in the 11-6 win.

From the Comets.
As has been the case all year long for the Comets, the team could not hold onto a 4th quarter lead, and lost on the road to the Riot Sunday night at the Odeum in Chicago, 16-12.
Chicago started the scoring at the 6:20 mark in the 1st period on a goal by Bato Radoncic.

Dalton Burner and Brian Harris...Dalton Burner is a young man that has had to fight cancer at far too young of an age. Missouri Comets rookie Brian Harris has become a big fan of Dalton. Any time you ask Brian about Dalton he chokes up and talks about how brave Dalton is, how much he means to Brian and how he inspires Brian.

The jerseys will then be auctioned-off immediately following the game, with proceeds benefiting the Dalton Burner Foundation.

It took overtime, but the Missouri Comets picked up their first home win of the season tonight as they beat the Chicago Riot 11-9 in overtime. Things started extremely bright for the Comets, as just 39 seconds into the game they found themselves up 2-0. Vahid Assadpour found Byron Alvarez unmarked at the back post and Alvarez slotted home to give MO a very early lead.
