February 2, 2023 – Major Arena Soccer League (MASL) – Kansas City Comets press release
The Kansas City Comets return to Cable Dahmer Arena Saturday night for an exciting night of indoor soccer as they host the St. Louis Ambush for the sixth and final round of the I-70 series this season.
More than 40 celebrities will provide halftime entertainment as Team Vasos, led by Comets play-by-play commentator Nick Vasos, battles Team Serrano, led by Comets compere Steve Serrano, in the annual Celebrity/Media Game. The list of celebrities and media is below.
The Comets take on the Milwaukee Wave on Saturday after a 9-8 loss in overtime.
The Comets will be without the services of John Sosa, who is suspended for a game for accumulating penalty points following a blue card he was shown in Milwaukee on Sunday. That’ll be a big gap for the Comets, as Sosa is among the team’s offensive leaders with 20 points from 12 assists and eight goals.
While Sosa is dominant in set pieces, Ray Lee has also shown his ability in restarts. All of Lee’s seven points come from his last two games, in which his left foot was particularly deadly on restarts near the top of the arc.
The Comets are currently leading the season series 3-2, winning both matchups at Cable Dahmer Arena in November and December.
The Ambush will look to share the season’s streak with a win on Saturday.
After an overtime win against the Comets in St. Louis on Jan. 20, the Ambush lost both games on their trip to Mexico, losing 4-11 to the Chihuahua Savage and 7-4 to the Monterrey Flash.
Offensively, The Ambush is led by Robert Kristo, who has 13 points from nine goals and four assists. The St. Louis University product has been a thorn in the side of the Comets this season with seven points, including three goals in his last visit to Cable Dahmer Arena in December.
Assisting Kristo is the Ambush trio of William Eskay, Duduca Carvalho and Lucas Almeida, who have a combined total of 26 points from 15 goals and 11 assists.
Both teams are battling for a playoff spot, with sixth-seeded Ambush on the outside looking for a top-five spot.
