Outlook: The Spirit and the Invaders have split two games this season. Canton is last in the National Professional Soccer League's American Division and last in the league in home attendance with a 1,845 per-game average. The Invaders' leading scorer is Marcelo Carrera. In the space of 48 hours last week, the Invaders were shut out by the Cleveland Crunch and winners with a team-record 34 points over the Chicago Power. Carlos Ledesma, Canton's third leading scorer, had 17 points in the win to tie Hector Marinaro's NPSL record. Franklin McIntosh will rejoin the Spirit after serving a one-game suspension for fighting in a win over the Dayton Dynamo last week.
