Milwaukee Wave News Release


MILWAUKEE (Nov. 17, 2007) -- Marcio Leite's six-point night led a long-awaited breakout performance for the Milwaukee Wave offense on Saturday in a 16-7 victory over the Orlando Sharks at the U.S. Cellular Arena.

The Wave (2-2) took control with an eight-point second quarter, going from a 5-4 deficit to a 12-5 halftime lead. They also scored in the last minute of each of the first three quarters to keep the expansion Sharks (0-4) winless.

Leite opened the scoring off a feed from Marcelo Fontana, then later dished off to rookie Joe DiBuono before the first quarter was out. He assisted on Joe Hammes' second goal of the season in the second quarter, then roofed one with just 45 seconds remaining in the third. That goal was assisted by Warren Ukah, his first point with the Wave since signing this week.

Brazilian rookie Chico recorded his first point with the team as well on a fine individual effort in the second quarter. He pressured Orlando keeper Paul Nagy, who was outside the penalty area playing a ball with his feet. Chico poked the ball away and fired it off the corner boards, where it found Giuliano Olivero in the clear for his first goal of the season.

Nick Vorberg continued his strong play in the nets; he gave up his first three-pointer of the season on a deflected ball in the first half but surrendered just a single goal after halftime.

Troy Dusosky scored two goals and Marcelo Fontana added a goal and two assists for the Wave.

Milwaukee takes on La Raza de Monterrey at 6 p.m. Saturday on Faith and Family Night at the U.S. Cellular Arena. WMIL and Stein Gardens and Gifts present the annual Teddy Bear Toss; fans should bring a new stuffed animal and throw it onto the field following the first Wave goal. The Marine Corps Reserve will collect the animals for Toys for Tots.

Tickets are available through Ticketmaster or by calling (414) 224-9283.
