Tacoma Stars to open MASL season Dec. 11 at Kent’s ShoWare Center

Will play San Diego Sockers, one of the Western Division favorites

The Tacoma Stars will open the 2021-2022 Major Arena Soccer League season against the San Diego Sockers at 7:05 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 11 at the accesso ShoWare Center in Kent.

San Diego is one of the favorites to win the Western Division, according to Michael Lewis at MASLsoccer.com. Tacoma was 4-7 last year and finished in sixth place when it played every game on the road as the ShoWare Center was unavailable due to COVID-19 restrictions.

Lewis reports that the Stars are rebuilding under coach Mike Jennings. Top returning players include forward Nick Perera, midfielder Mike Ramos, forward Vini Dantas and goalkeeper Danny Waltman.

Ticket prices are $40 for premier (front rows), $30 for club and $24 for reserved. Purchases tickets online at accessoshowarecenter.com.
