Meola Undergoes Surgery

As if losing four straight games while being outscored 14-1 wasn’t bad enough, the Kansas City Wizards lost their starting goaltender for 6-7 weeks yesterday. Tony Meola underwent surgery to repair a slight tear of his abdomen, an injury which had already kept him out the last 3 1/2 games. Meola is expected to make a full recovery. Kansas City hosts Tampa Bay tommorrow night.
