Milwaukee Wave United News Release
(Milwaukee, WI) Milwaukee Wave United, the Wave's A-League (outdoor) team won its pre-season opener yesterday (4/21) at Uihlein Soccer Park by defeating Northwestern University 3-0. Midfielder Sam Sloma registered the game-winning goal with a first half tally while forward Digital Takawira added a pair of second half goals to account for the final score. Goalkeeper Jeff Richey posted the shutout with four saves.
"Considering we only had two days of training prior to the match it was a good result," said Wave United Coach Art Kramer. "We have a number of players trying out and based upon their performances thus far it certainly provides the coaching staff with a number of options."
Wave United resumes pre-season activity with a pair of games this weekend. Milwaukee travels to Kenosha, WI on Saturday (4/24) to take on UW-Parkside at noon before returning to Uihlein to host UW-Madison on Sunday (4/25) at 2 PM.
