Last season:

The MKE Wave finished 13-7 in the regular season and 15-9 overall, falling to the Missouri Comets 8-2 in the MASL Central Division final.

 

Head coach Giuliano Oliviero enters second year as head coach:

"Last year I was a rookie; I went from their teammate to their head coach. It was definitely a different environment for me personally and also probably for the players on the team."

 

The team:

Milwaukee's 23-player roster includes 13 returning player from the 2014-15 season and ten newcomers – including defenders Sean Totsch from Oswego, IL and Drew Ruggles from Manassas, VA, who played with Wave defender-forward Tony Walls (Wauwatosa East/UW-Green Bay) with the 2015 ULS Champion Rochester Rhinos.

 

Also joining the MKE Wave are midfielder Stewart Grable, who also played at UW-Green Bay, forward Hans Denissen, a 31-year-old striker from the Netherlands, first year player in the US, midfielder Emil Ekstrom from Sweden, and veteran indoor forward Max Ferdinand, who spent the past six seasons with the rival Baltimore Blast.
