Massachusetts Twisters: Everson Maciel signs in for another season.
A native of Londrina, Brazil, Maciel quickly made his mark in his first foray in American soccer when he played at Quinnipiac College. In 2001, his junior year, Maciel led the Bobcats in scoring with 17 goals and 38 assists. That year, he was named the Northeast Conference’s Player of the Year as well as being selected as a member of the NEC’s All-Conference team. His school also honored him when he was awarded the 2001 Quinnipiac Male Athlete of the Year.
The Twisters will kick off the home portion of the schedule on December 6th, when the Philadelphia Kixx will come to the Big E for a 7:35PM kickoff.
The Twisters went 7-7 in the regular season before losing to the Rockford (Ill.) Rampage in the AISL championship. Rockford announced in September it would join the NISL, which also includes the Baltimore Blast, Philadelphia KiXX and Monterrey La Raza.
The Twisters play in The Eastern States Coliseum — known locally as The Big E Coliseum — which opened in 1926 and seats 5,900 fans. West Springfield is a community of roughly 30,000, as of the 2000 census. Cities just outside of the West Springfield borders are Hartford CT, Springfield, Pittsfield and Boston.
