Friday, February 22, 2019 · 7:35 PM CST The Family Arena · St. Charles, Missouri St. Louis Ambush vs. Orlando SeaWolves Broadcast: masl.tv St. Louis Ambush MASL Game 122 Orlando SeaWolves 8-8 OVERALL St. Louis Ambush Game 17 5-5 OVERALL 4-3 HOME St. Louis Ambush Home Game 8 2-3 HOME 4-5 AWAY Orlando SeaWolves Game 11 3-2 AWAY 2-1 HEAD TO HEAD Orlando SeaWolves Away Game 6 1-2 HEAD TO HEAD TONIGHT’S GAME • Tonight’s game is the fourth and final meeting between the Ambush and SeaWolves during the 2018-19 regular season. • A victory by the Ambush tonight would set a new franchise record for wins in a single season. The club’s best season was 2014-15, when they went 8-12. • There were 20 games in the 2014-15 season, so their 8-12 record produced a .400 winning percentage. There are 24 games this season, so the Ambush will need 10 total wins to surpass their winning percentage record. (Ten wins this season would result in a .417 winning percentage at the end of the season.) • Tonight’s game is also the fourth in a seven-game home stand for the Ambush. It is the longest home stand of the season. THE PLAYOFF PICTURE • Tonight’s game has playoff implications as the Ambush, SeaWolves and Kansas City Comets come into the weekend locked in a tie for second place – and the second playoff spot – in the MASL South Central Division. • The Ambush play two games this weekend. They host the Florida Tropics on Sunday at 3:05 p.m. CT here at the Family Arena, while the SeaWolves travel across the state to duel the Comets on Sunday in Independence.
