Save the Date, 10 must see match-ups of 2011-2012 MISL season

With the official release of the 2011-2012 MISL Season Schedule, Indoor Soccer News selected a few match-ups that are "Can't Miss Games" for any true Indoor Soccer Fan.

  1. November 3 - Comets vs. Wings: First game of the MISL season as Missouri Comets travel to the Hartman Arena to take on the new Wichita Wings. Prediction: Look for the established Comets to win the season opener easily.
  2. November 4 - Lancers vs. Silver Knights: The battle for SoccerTown, USA title will take place on the second day of the season as Rochester travels to Syracuse for this cross-state rivalry between the established Lancers and the new Silver Knights franchise.
  3. November 11 - Silver Knights vs. SharX: These two rookie franchises face off for their first time ever. Both these cities are looking to make a splash in their inaugural campaigns. Prediction: Look for the SharX to come away victorious.
  4. December 31 - Blast vs. Wave: On the last day of the year fans will finally get to see a rematch of the 2010-2011 Championship Match as Baltimore and Milwaukee face off at U.S. Cellular Arena in Milwaukee, WI.
  5. January 2 - SharX vs. Lancers: The start of the new year and a somewhat midway mark to the season sees Norfolk travel to Rochester. May get a good idea by January of which direction these teams are headed for the season.
  6. January 18 - Kick vs. Comets: If the newest Chicago franchise is to be taken serious by their fans and the league they will have to stand strong in their series with fellow Midwest representatives Missouri.
  7. February 14 - Silver Knights vs. SharX: Don't expect much love to be lost on Valentines day 2012 between these two rookie franchises. Norfolk may have a slight edge as they play at home in the Norfolk Scope Arena.
  8. March 3 - Waves vs. Kick: This will be the final of six meetings between these two Great Lakes teams, separated by less than 100 miles. Will it decide the series will it be a meaningless final match? Prediction: Waves take the final match for the season sweep from the new look Chicago team (Kick).
  9. March 4 - Blast vs. Silver Knights: The final MISL game of the 2011-2012 campaign pits the last seasons runner-ups Baltiore against one of this seasons 4 new franchises. Will the Blast be heading for another Championship match? Will Syracuse be staking their claim as the best or worst of the newest MISL franchises?
  10. TBD: Since only the top two teams from each division will make it into the playoffs, this final must see match-up will be set aside for any late season game that may be the deciding game for a team or teams battling to be one of the four playoff teams.
