Every dynasty has an end.
For the Baltimore Blast, it came in the 2019 Major Arena Soccer League (MASL) Eastern Conference final with a 2-1 loss to the Milwaukee Wave April 28.
Both teams got on the board in the first quarter, and the score remained tied for most of the match. Wave attacker Ian Bennett broke the tie, sending Milwaukee to the Ron Newman Cup Final. Milwaukee won, 5-2, against the Monterrey Flash.
Now, Baltimore enters the 2019-20 season with a different mentality after being so close to getting back to the top of the MASL for a fourth straight season. The Blast begins its season against Utica City FC at Towson University's SECU Arena Nov. 22.
