Spirit tonight

Opponent: Columbus Invaders

Site: Battelle Hall, Columbus, Ohio

Time: 7: 35

Radio: WWLG (1360 AM)

Outlook: Columbus, formerly the Canton Invaders, is the only winless (0-5) team in the NPSL. One Invader, Ricci Greenwood, who has five points in three games, lasted one day in the Spirit's preseason training camp. The leading scorer is Willie Merrick with 13 points. Four Spirit players will miss the game, including Lance Johnson, who sprained a knee ligament in Saturday's loss to the Philadelphia Kixx and is on the disabled list for the second time this season.
