(Milwaukee, WI) Milwaukee Wave United, the Wave's A-League (outdoor) team announced today that it has signed midfielder Steve Bernal to a three-year contract beginning with the upcoming 2003 A-League season. The 24-year old Bernal joins former Milwaukee Rampage teammates Jeremy Aldrich and Dennis Fadeski as a member of Milwaukee's new A-League squad, which replaces the now defunct Rampage.
A native of Batavia, Illinois, Bernal enjoyed an outstanding collegiate career at Creighton University (Omaha, NE) before beginning his professional career with the Rampage in 2000. In three years with Milwaukee's former A-League club, Bernal appeared in 78 games (74 starts), registering six goals and eighteen assists.
