Nusum on target as KiXX lift indoor title

Bermuda's John Barry Nusum hit the back of the net as his Philadelphia KiXX side lifted their second Major Indoor Soccer League championship in Plymouth, Michigan on Saturday night.

Player-coach Don D'Ambra scored twice as the KiXX roared into an 8-0 lead on their way to defeating the Detroit Ignition 13-8 in the final at Compuware Arena.

Nusum, Shawn Boni and Genoni Martinez were all on target as well as D'Ambra before Detroit, playing in front of their tenth straight sell-out crowd, finally got on the scoreboard in the 15th minute of the second quarter.

But while the Ignition fought back late in the game, the Kixx never looked like losing the match.

Six members of the KiXX, D'Ambra, Pappas, Boni, Pat Morris, Edgar Bartolomeu and Drew Kopp, along with assistant coach Adam Bruckner, were all members of the KiXX first championship team in 2001-02.
