MILWAUKEE - On a night in which the Milwaukee Wave honored those that played with them during their first 24 years of existence, it was the players that didn't join the club until its 25th year that stole the show. Led by their rookies, the Wave cruised past the New Jersey Ironmen 22-12.

"The past 2-3 days I've been telling these guys about the history the veterans bring," Wave Coach Keith Tozer said. "The new guys are becoming a part of that history."

After a Goran Vasic goal gave New Jersey a quick lead in the first quarter, the Wave began what would become a night of impressive goal-scoring. Their first goal came at the 2:55 mark in the first period, after Chico intercepted a New Jersey pass in front of the net for his first goal with the club.

First-year player Travis McKenzie then gave the Wave the lead early in the second quarter, controlling a pass down the field from goalkeeper Nick Vorberg. Marco Terminesi's seventh goal of the season helped Milwaukee extend its lead just 23 seconds later.

The Ironmen did their best to spoil the party, as Evan McNeley and Lucio Gonzaga added goals in the waning moments of the second quarter. But McKenzie's second goal of the night would give the Wave an 8-6 lead heading into the break.

Once again faced with a deficit, New Jersey found another way to come back. Lucio Gonzaga scored on a volley from Rey Martinez at the 12:41 mark, while Adauto Neto added an unassisted, short-handed goal one minute later.
