Opponent: Philadelphia Kixx

Site: Spectrum, Philadelphia

Time: 7: 35

TV/Radio: Comcast Channel 69 in Baltimore and Harford counties and Channel 54 in Howard County)/WJFK (1300 AM)

Outlook: This weekend will offer an excellent opportunity for the Blast to see how far it has come this season, as it confronts two of the three teams it currently trails in the American Conference, the Kixx (18-14) and Cleveland (21-12). The Blast (17-16), which has won its last four games, should benefit from the return of goalie Brett Phillips and midfielder Danny Kelly off the injured list. Philadelphia defeated the Blast at home last month after losing three straight games in Baltimore earlier in the season.
