Mke Wave Ready to Take on Arch-Rival Chicago Mustangs New Year Eve at Uw-Milwaukee Panther Arena

December 29, 2016 - Major Arena Soccer League (MASL)
Milwaukee Wave News Release


Your Six-Time Champion Milwaukee Wave returns from holiday break to face the arch-rival Chicago Mustangs Saturday afternoon, 3:05pm kick off at UW-Milwaukee Panther Arena.

"This ‘Border Battle' has become something of a tradition for us on New Years Eve," said Head Coach Giuliano Oliviero. "Last year, the Mustangs beat us in overtime. A few weeks ago we returned the favor and did something we have never done in the regular season; beat them in their home. Nothing has come easy to us this season and it's going to take a complete 60 minute effort from everyone to get this win."

The Chicago Mustangs sit in second place in the Major Arena Soccer League Central Division and are coming off a win against the Syracuse Silver Knights, a team that handed the Wave a loss at UW-Milwaukee Panther before the long holiday break.

"It's always difficult sitting on a loss for a long time," said Oliviero. "You want to be out there the next night after a tough loss but we've taken this winter break to clean up on restarts, free kicks and special teams. The guys as a whole have been doing a fantastic job working together and getting on the same page but we know Chicago will be looking for payback. We'll be ready!"

Tickets are available at the door or at MilwaukeeWave.com
