Veterans spark Comets sweep of Ambush

The Kansas City Comets opened the 2021/22 MASL season with a pair of wins over the St. Louis Ambush. The first win came on Friday in St. Louis by a final score of 6-4 before an 11-6 win on Saturday at home.

Starting the season with a pair of wins is always good. To do it against a big rival like the Ambush makes it even better.

“It was a great test for us,” said Comets player-coach Leo Gibson after Saturday’s win. “And for us to come out on top is absolutely incredible.”

Both teams entered the doubleheader with depleted squads as the main problem for the Comets was visa issues while the Ambush were mostly dealing with injuries.
