On Sunday afternoon, the Mississauga MetroStars return home to the Paramount Fine Foods Centre to take on their Eastern Division rivals, the Harrisburg Heat. Both teams have a 1-3 record, sit tied at the bottom of the Eastern division, and have two game losing streaks.
Last time out, the MetroStars were in Florida, where they fell 12-7 to another expansion side, the Orlando SeaWolves. They gave up five quick goals at the start of the match, and weren’t able to make the comeback, as the SeaWolves picked up on Mississauga’s weaknesses and kept exploiting them. The Mississauga defenders were playing a bit too far apart, so Orlando repeatedly fizzed low crosses across the face of goal, setting up chances from close range at the back post.
