In a rematch of their previous weekend's game, the Kansas Magic prevailed this time, scoring the

Chaz O'Dell, but the Kings responded at 5:46 with goal by Allen Eller, assisted by Drew Ducker.

The Kansas Magic continued their 2-game road trip in Detroit on Saturday night. Seeking to gain a
split in their weekend games, the Kansas Magic failed to outscore the Detroit Waza and lost 10-7 at
the Taylor Sportsplex.
Behind 4-0 after the 1st quarter, the Magic could only match the Waza's output for the 2nd quarter
and trailed 6-2 at halftime.
You may member an indoor soccer team called the Phoenix Monsoon (the one that listed me as its
play-by-play announcer despite not actually, you know, consummating a deal with me). This was its
maiden season in the PASL, and they had big plans for it. Well, the original owner was out before
Christmas and the new owners have changed the name of the team to the Arizona Storm.

Player/Head Coach Randall Porter: His answer when I asked him what the team learned from the
Waza game:
"The first thing we learned is to try to put a game away when we have the opportunity. At one point
we were up 6-2 with 5 minutes to go in the 3rd period and let them get 2 goals back and make it a
game again.
