The second-place Baltimore Blast and the third-place Monterrey La RaZa will play each other in a home-and-home Semifinal series; the Philadelphia KiXX and Rockford Rampage have been eliminated from playoff contention.
"The 2009-10 MISL season has once again proven how fiercely competitive our league has become," said David J. Grimaldi, Commissioner of the MISL. "Every regular season game mattered, which added a tremendous level of excitement that you usually only see in the playoffs. This is what we want from our teams, players and coaches. Congratulations to the Milwaukee Wave owner Jim Lindenberg and coach Keith Tozer for winning the 2009-10 MISL Regular Season. The Wave have earned the honor of hosting the MISL Championship Game on April 4th at U.S. Cellular Arena. And congratulations to the Baltimore Blast and La RaZa de Monterrey for again making it to the playoffs. The Philadelphia KiXX and Rockford Rampage will have to look again to next year but both teams have added key players at the end of this season which will certainly make them more competitive in the 2010-11 season."
