MILWAUKEE - With a near-perfect first half, the Milwaukee Wave ended the Chicago Storm's two-game winning streak Saturday night at the Sears Centre, 15-4.

Jonathan Santos scored less than 90 seconds into the game, and the Wave (8-5) never let up. It was 7-0 after one quarter on goals by Chad Burt (3-pointer) and Travis McKenzie.

Chicago went on the man advantage early in the second period when Wave goalkeeper Nick Vorberg made a save with his hand outside the penalty area, forcing Troy Dusosky into the net. But he stopped Fabinho's shootout and then the defense held the Storm without a shot on goal for 3 minutes, until the Wave were able to call time out and get Vorberg back into the net.

Santos scored again for a 9-0 halftime lead, and then it was 11-0 just 95 seconds into the third quarter when Jacek Przednowek finished a feed from Marcelo Fontana.

Down 13-2, the Storm (5-9) opened the fourth quarter with Will Kletzien as the sixth attacker. It paid off with Chris Cerroni's goal with 14:26 to go, and the Storm peppered the Wave net for the next 4 minutes. But once the Wave got control of the ball, they built a possession that ended with Brett Wiesner's third goal of the season.

The Wave return to Chicago next Sunday for a 3 p.m. contest. Their next home action is at 2 p.m. Sunday, March 15 against Detroit in the annual Green Jersey Game for Children's Hospital of Wisconsin.
