MKE WAVE DROP SEASON OPENER TO CHICAGO

MKE WAVE DROP SEASON OPENER TO CHICAGO 3-4.

Home Opener at UW-Milwaukee Panther Arena, Saturday, November 14th at 6:05pm

Your six-time champion Milwaukee Wave kicked off their 32nd season of indoor soccer tonight at Sears Centre in Chicago with a disappointing loss to the rival Mustangs, 3-4.


Milwaukee came out of the gates swinging with unassisted goals in the first half from #15 Tony Walls and #26 Ian Bennett but that momentum faded fast in the second half as thing started to fall apart for the Wave. The Mustangs dominated the 4 quarter with two goals coming from Alexis Camarena and one Joshio Sandoval.


"We had constant opportunities and gave up three restart goals tonight, that is unacceptable," said Head Coach Giuliano Oliviero. "I thought the players defended extremely hard and with a lot of heart but we could of played smarter when we had the ball."
