WIZARDS HOST UNBEATEN REVS SATURDAY AT ARROWHEAD
First Ever Women's Professional Football Game to Take Place Following
Wizards Match
KANSAS CITY, MO (Wednesday, June 8, 2005) - The Kansas City Wizards
will take on the unbeaten New England Revolution this Saturday at
Arrowhead Stadium with kickoff at 7:00 p.m. CT. The Wizards will
put their current nine-game home-unbeaten streak (12 games including
postseason and U.S. Open Cup) on the line against the Revs, who
are unbeaten in their first ten games of the 2005 season (6-0-4).
The Wizards welcome back midfielder Kerry Zavagnin and forward Josh
Wolff, who have missed the last four matches while with the U.S.
National Team for a pair of World Cup Qualifiers. The duo will rejoin
a Wizards squad that currently ranks second in the League in scoring
with 20 goals in 11 games. Just five points behind the first place
Revs in the standings, Kansas City will look to climb within one
game of the top of the Eastern Conference this weekend.
Following this Saturday's match, Arrowhead Stadium will play host
to the first ever Women's Professional Football game at Arrowhead
when the Independent Women's Football League's Kansas City Storm
and Detroit Predators face off in their regular season game. The
Women's football game will kickoff after the Wizards match and following
some brief field preparation.
Admission to the Kansas City Storm game is free with a ticket to
the Wizards match. Tickets to the Wizards and Kansas City Storm
doubleheader are available through Ticketmaster by calling 816-931-3330
