Jim Lindenberg has sold the Milwaukee Wave Professional Indoor Soccer Team and the Wave of Hope (501C) to President and CEO Sue Black in a confidential agreement. Black had so much community support and belief in this team during the end of the season that she approached Lindenberg to take over Ownership. “It was very easy to complete the transaction with President/CEO Sue Black and the United Soccer League," said Lindenberg.

The Baltimore Blast ended the regular season on a six-game win streak, en route to claiming the 2012-13 MISL regular season title and home-field advantage throughout the playoffs.

The Missouri Comets shocked the Major Indoor Soccer League last weekend when they came from behind in two games to defeat the defending champion Milwaukee Wave for a chance to win this year’s title. Now they are set to host the first professional league championship in any sport since the Kansas City Attack hosted the NPSL Finals in 1997 and before that, the Kansas City Royals hosted their last World Series game in 1985.
