Wave Defeat Syracuse Sunday Afternoon in Overtime
February 25, 2018 - Major Arena Soccer League (MASL)
Milwaukee Wave News Release
Your playoff bound Milwaukee Wave defeated a very talented Syracuse Silver Knights team Sunday afternoon at Oncenter War Memorial Arena in Syracuse, New York.
Final score: Milwaukee Wave 8, Syracuse Silver Knight 7, F/OT.
"You've got to give credit to Syracuse," said Head Coach Giuliano Oliviero. "They are an excellent team and took us to the brink today. They are capable of taking the next step against Baltimore in the playoffs."
The Milwaukee Wave make their way back home and get ready to prepare for the Florida Tropics, a team they will play against for the first and only time this season.
"Florida is also very talented on the offensive side of the ball and are capable of hurting us but we will be ready for whatever they bring Saturday," said Oliviero. "We're going to assess our health, see who we need to rest and who can step up for a complete 60 minute game on Saturday. We're looking forward to it."
