The 7-Time Champion Milwaukee Wave handed the first place Florida Tropics their first loss of the Major Arena Soccer League season Saturday night at RP Funding Center in Lakeland, Florida.

Final score: Milwaukee Wave 6, Florida Tropics 5.

"I'm proud of our team tonight," said Milwaukee Wave Head Coach Giuliano Oliviero. "They really showed up with the right attitude and played a gritty, intelligent game against a tenacious Florida Tropics team."

Milwaukee Wave Midfielder #8 Luan Oliveira had 4 goals on the night and Forward #24 Max Ferdinand added two goals and an assist.

"Luan played fantastic," exclaimed Oliviero. "Ian Bennett was under the weather and other guys had to step up tonight and they did. I thought Max (Ferdinand) had a great game, Chico drawing two penalties and creating power play opportunities that we took advantage of, that was huge! Across the board, the entire defense, Rafa with his shot stopping ability, everyone played a big role tonight. Couldn't be happier."
