Giuliano Oliviero, Milwaukee Wave

Milwaukee Wave forward Giuliano Oliviero recorded two goals and two assists for six points in the Wave's 10-6 victory at Baltimore Saturday night. Oliviero opened with a penalty kick then assisted on the Wave's second goal to put the Wave up 4-2. That assist gave the 15-year veteran 1,000 regular-season points for his career, a milestone reached by less than two dozen indoor soccer players. Oliviero later extended the Wave's lead to 8-2 and ended the game with the assist on JP Rodrigues' victory-clinching goal in the fourth quarter. Oliviero began his career with the Wave in 1995-96 and returned to Milwaukee in the 2003-04 season. He ranks fifth all-time on the Wave's point scoring list with career 415 points. For the season Oliviero has 29 points and ranks third in the MISL.
