MILWAUKEE (April 1, 2008) - The Milwaukee Wave will host Game 2 of their MISL Playoff Semifinal series at 2 p.m. Sunday, April 20 at the U.S. Cellular Arena.

By defeating Detroit 18-12 on Sunday, the Wave (21-7) clinched one of the two first-round byes for postseason play, which begins the weekend of April 11-13. First-round and semifinal series are two-game series, and ties are broken with a sudden-death "golden goal" session played immediately after Game 2.

Milwaukee also hosts the 2008 Time Warner Cable MISL Championship Final at 6 p.m. Saturday, April 26. The winner-take-all event will be broadcast live nationally on Fox Soccer Channel. Fans who purchase their semifinal ticket in advance will be able to get the championship game at half-price. Call 414-224-9283 to reserve the best seats now.

Six of the nine MISL teams qualify for the playoffs. The first-place team meets the lowest-seeded quarterfinal winner in the semis, and the second-place team takes on the highest-seeded quarterfinal winner.

Milwaukee has lost that golden-goal tiebreaker each of the past two seasons in the semifinal round, after advancing to the finals in six consecutive seasons, winning three times (2000, 2001, 2005).

The Wave wrap up the regular season with two games this weekend. On Friday, they visit Detroit for a rematch with the Ignition (20-8) at 6:35 p.m. CST. Saturday, the team hosts La Raza de Monterrey at 6 p.m. for Fan Appreciation Day, presented by New Land Enterprises. It's also the final regular season game for Wave legend Michael King. Both games will be broadcast live on Time Warner Sports, Channel 32
