MILWAUKEE, WI - The Milwaukee Wave improved its undefeated record to 6-0 with a 5-3 victory over the Philadelphia KiXX at the U.S. Cellular Arena Friday evening.

Later in the first period, Matt Schmidt extended the Wave's lead to two goals after capitalizing on a pass by Todd Dusosky, who came into tonight's game second in the MISL in assists.

A minute into the second quarter, Giuliano Oliviero gave the Wave its biggest lead of the night after shooting the ball past Philadelphia goalkeeper Peter Pappas to make the score 3-0.

Thirty-three seconds later, Matt Schmidt responded with his second goal of the evening to put the Wave ahead by three again, 4-1.

Kixx forward, John Barry Nusum scored the only goal of the third period (5:23) after connecting on a pass by Goran Vasic. Nusum cut the lead to a single score 4-3 at 1:23 in the fourth quarter. The Dusosky brothers connected about a minute later to give Milwaukee a 5-3 lead. Troy Dusosky found the back of the net after a pass from Todd.
