March 4, 2014 - Major Indoor Soccer League (MISL) Missouri Comets INDEPENDENCE, Missouri (March 4, 2014) - The Major Indoor Soccer League announced on Tuesday that Missouri Comets goalkeeper Danny Waltman has been named the MISL Player of the Week for the final week of the 2013-14 regular season. Waltman only conceded two goals as the Comets took wins in St. Louis and Milwaukee to close out the regular season. <\/p>\n
Waltman didn't concede a goal in the Comets' opening game of the weekend against the Ambush, as he was pulled early in the second half after making 15 saves with Missouri comfortably ahead of its in-state rivals. On Sunday he made 17 saves on 19 shots as the Comets claimed a 9-4 victory against the Wave. The performance reduced Waltman's points-against average to 10.29, his lowest regular-season total in his four seasons with Missouri. <\/p>\n
Joining Waltman on the Team of the Week was his teammate Max Touloute, who had a five-goal game as the Comets took a 27-6 victory against St. Louis. A recent addition from the Pennsylvania Roar, Touloute finished his rookie season with 32 points in nine games. <\/p>\n
Two players who recorded hat tricks were named to the Team of the Week's forward line. Milwaukee's Marcio Leite finished with an eight-point night as the Wave rallied past St. Louis, while Syracuse's Kenardo Forbes' hat trick helped the Silver Knights edge past Rochester. They were joined by Baltimore's Max Ferdinand, who had the opening two goals as Baltimore defeated Pennsylvania to claim the MISL regular season championship, and Rochester's Edgar Bartolomeu, who had a pair of 3-point goals in a losing cause as the Lancers fell against Syracuse. <\/p>\n
The 2014 MISL Playoffs begin this weekend with the semifinals, as the No. 1-seed Baltimore Blast take on the No. 4-seed Syracuse Silver Knights and the No. 2-seed Milwaukee Wave face the No. 3-seed Missouri Comets.
