Wave vs. Detroit Preview

February 13, 2009 - Xtreme Soccer League (XSL)
Milwaukee Wave News Release


QUICK FACTS:

SERIES RECORD: Detroit leads 10-4.

LAST MEETING: The Ignition defeated the Wave 10-4 last Sunday in Plymouth, Mich.

MILWAUKEE COACH: Keith Tozer (599-369/25 seasons)

DETROIT COACH: Matt Johnson (6-2/1 season)

LIVE WEBCAST: B2 Networks

TV: None

THE STAKES: Detroit has won 15 in a row at home, including five games this year, but the Ignition have not played a road game since Jan. 10 - ironically, that was a victory on the road in Milwaukee. Something is going to have to cool the Ignition off, and if a trip to the Brew City doesn't do it, it's hard to imagine what will. Keith Tozer goes after his 600th regular season victory.
