Waiting for them is the other second place team from Kansas City. As expected the game<br \/>\nis a close one and takes a pair of extra periods to determine a winner.

Sunday&#8217;s game is the game everyone though would be for the championship; a<br \/>\nWaterloo and Sioux City match-up. The Warriors are out of gas and offer little resistance to the Metros explosive<br \/>\noffence and stingy goaltending.
