MILWAUKEE, WI (December 21, 2005) - The Wave's 9-2 victory over the Premier Arena Soccer League (PASL) All-Stars sent the Wave's enthusiastic young fans home happy. As part of a school-day promotion with CNI Newspapers, the Wave competed in front of many southeastern Wisconsin students.

Semir Mesanovic got the Wave on the board first and Kyt Selaidopoulos followed with another goal to give Milwaukee a 2-0 lead. By the end of the first quarter, the Wave led the PASL All-Stars 3-1. With Walter Blake tallying his second goal of the game in the second quarter and Hewerton adding the Wave's second goal of the period, Milwaukee led at halftime, 5-1.

The Wave continued to put pressure on the PASL All-Stars in the second half as they outscored their opponents 3-0 in the third quarter. Piper Lee, Angel Rivillo and Wave legend, Steve Morris, each put one in the net. The teams traded goals in the fourth quarter for the final 9-2 margin.

Goalkeeper, Brian Rowland, made his Wave debut and allowed just one goal in three quarters of play. Forward, Johnny Torres, was in a giving mood as he assisted on four of Milwaukee's scores. Overall, it was a balanced offensive attack (seven different members of the Wave scored a goal) combined with a good defensive effort that sent the Wave to the victory.

Each student received a curriculum designed to combine their interest in soccer and sports with education. Informational booths were set up around the U.S. Cellular Arena during the game. As part of the program, schools were visited by members of the Wave who discussed the values of an education and how it applies to their lives and sports.

The Wave resumes league play on December 31 at 1:05 p.m. against the California Cougars. Milwaukee will take aim at a franchise-best 8-0 start against California.
