Milwaukee Wave News Release


MILWAUKEE, WI (Jan. 10, 2008) -- Greg Howes scored four goals and added an assist as the Milwaukee Wave improved to 2-0 on their five-game road trip, beating La Raza de Monterrey 22-15 on Thursday night.

Howes overtook the MISL scoring lead with 55 points as the Wave improved to 10-4 and momentarily took a half-game lead over Detroit and Chicago for first place in the league.

Marcio Leite broke out of a slump with two goals and an assist as the Wave put at least 20 points on La Raza's league-worst defense for the second time in three meetings this season.

A skirmish with just 9.1 seconds left, after a boarding foul by La Raza's Ivan Medina on Brett Wiesner, led to a red card against the Wave's Joe Hammes. He'll miss Sunday night's game at California.

Milwaukee took control of the game in the second quarter with five goals, including three by Howes. It was 14-7 at half, then Howes and Jonathan Santos tallied within 13 seconds early in the fourth quarter to push the margin to 20-11.

Deco and Warren Ukah each contributed a goal and assist, and Marcelo Fontana added two assists for the Wave, who are 7-0 against expansion teams Orlando, Monterrey and New Jersey.

Milwaukee's road trip continues Sunday with its first game against the California Cougars at 8:15 p.m., live on Time Warner Sports. Games follow at Detroit next Friday and Baltimore on Jan. 25.
