I had been remiss about seeing the Stars

Tacoma Stars 5
San Diego Sockers 9
MASL Regular Season
ShoWare Center - Kent, WA
February 17, 2019



It had been a very long time since I last attended a Tacoma Stars match (1992), much less a Tacoma versus San Diego Sockers match (1991).  I was remiss in attending for a very long time since the return of the Stars, and the signing of a certain someone who ended up not playing or being there was not something I could find out about at the time and confused a number of folks in my section, it was cool to get to a match after all that time and also finally see the ShoWare Center.

Other than a couple of odd indoor exhibition tours the USWNT did in 99-00, I had not been to a pro indoor match since the Seattle Seadogs in 1997.

So, I have now seen 5 matches over the eras between the two storied indoor sides.  SD has a 4-1 edge in those matches dating back to the MISL 1986 playoffs.

MISL/MSL era:
05-07-86 5-8 (MISL playoffs)
05-22-87 5-6 (MISL playoffs)
03-30-91 10-1 (MSL regular season)
11-01-91 4-6 (MSL regular season)
