The Wave were able to continue their goal scoring form right from the beginning as Alex Bradley was able to draw a penalty in the first minute of the contest to get Ian Bennett to the penalty spot where he converted.

Milwaukee was able to get contributions from Luan Oliveira and Derek Huffman in the first quarter, however St. Louis was not easy to push away as they were able to keep the game leveled early.

"This one feels good," said Head Coach Giuliano Oliviero. "I'm proud of the way the guys digged in and kept fighting. They didn't waver tonight."

Marcio Leite scored a beautiful goal in the second half to give the Wave an advantage, however St. Louis would not be denied as they seemingly had an answer for every move the Wave made in the first half and took a one goal lead into the intermission.

It was a similar story to the Wave's last home win against Utica, as it took a strong defensive second half performance to get the Wave another dramatic victory this time in overtime as from a Marcio Leite goal.

"I feel like this season sometimes luck hasn't been going our way," said defender #77 Marcio Letire. "Good things happen when you stay displined and you do the things we worked on in practice. Let's keep it going!"

Final Score in Overtime: Milwaukee Wave 8, St. Louis Ambush 7.

The MKE Wave return to action this Saturday night at 6:05pm at UW-Milwaukee Panther Arena to face the Harrisburg Heat.

Tickets are available at MilwaukeeWave.com or at the UW-Milwaukee Panther Arena Box office prior to the game.

IT WAS OUR PRIVILEGE TO WELCOME TUCKER SPARKS TO THE GAME ON SUNDAY.

TUCKER'S FAMILY WAS INVOLVED IN THE SENSELESS AND TRAGIC ACT LAST YEAR AT THE WAUKESHA CHRISTMAS PARADE. TUCKER WAS SERIOUSLY INJURED AND HIS BROTHER JACKSON SADLY PASSED AWAY. TUCKER AND OUR CAPTAIN IAN BENNET CELEBRATE THE STRENGTH AND TOUGHNESS OF THIS RESILIENT FAMILY.
