Last Week's Outings:

DETROIT (Jan. 18, 2008) - Greg Howes recorded his third consecutive hat trick, but it wasn't enough to carry the Milwaukee Wave in a 15-14 loss to the Detroit Ignition on Friday night.

Milwaukee trailed 15-8 midway through the third quarter, then got goals from Howes, Anthony Maher and finally Michael King to trail by only one point with 13 minutes still remaining. The rally died, however, when Milwaukee took a two-minute penalty for having too many men with only 2:51 left. The Wave managed a shorthanded opportunity, but weren't able to score the go-ahead goal.

The loss ends a four-game winning streak for the Wave (11-5), who fell into second place, a half-game behind Detroit (11-4). Milwaukee played without veteran defender Troy Dusosky, who stayed behind in Milwaukee due to a knee injury.

Howes stretched his PUMA Points Championship Lead to 17 points over Dino Delevski; he has 69 points this season. Howes hammered in a 3-point goal 4:35 into the first quarter to give Milwaukee the lead. Howes then scored his 27th goal of the season with another 2-point goal on a nice feed from Deco, but the Ignition scored with just 6 seconds left in the quarter to take a 7-5 lead.

Detroit also scored with only 4 seconds to go in the second quarter, a goal that made it 13-8.

BRAUN, GALLARDO PUT NAMES ON WAVE OF KINDNESS HARLEY

MILWAUKEE (Jan. 16, 2008) - In June, just his first full month in the Major Leagues, Ryan Braun crushed the ball and earned National League Rookie of the Month honors.

Just wait until the pitchers get to know him, the experts said.

Well, in July, Braun was the NL Rookie of the Month and NL Player of the Month, and pitchers still have no idea what to do with the 24-year-old Brewers star. He became National League Rookie of the Year - but he wasn't the only Brewers newcomer to have a great first season.

Yovani Gallardo was 9-5 with a 3.67 ERA after his June callup from Triple A, and the 21-year-old is just one more reason Brewers fans can't wait for Opening Day.

Braun and Gallardo both autographed the Milwaukee Wave of Kindness Harley-Davidson Sportster XL 883 on Wednesday, joining a list of names that includes Pele, Tom Crean, Bonnie Blair, Fuzzy Thurston and more.

All season long, fans can buy raffle tickets to win the bike that has been painted a special Milwaukee Wave blue and will be autographed by various celebrities throughout the winter. Tickets are $1 each or six for $5 and can be purchased online at www.milwaukeewave.com and at all Milwaukee Wave games.

The winning ticket will be drawn at the Major Indoor Soccer League championship game on April 26 at the U.S. Cellular Arena.

Raffle proceeds will benefit Wave of Kindness, a nonprofit organization that brings soccer to inner-city youth through camp scholarships, game tickets, clinics and more. For more information on Wave of Kindness, visit www.milwaukeewave.com and click on the Wave of Kindness link.

You can see the bike this Friday at Major Goolsby's, when the Wave throws a viewing party for their game at Detroit, beginning at 6:35 p.m. on Time Warner Sports. Come see the bike, meet Wave players and actor Mark Metcalf and enjoy food and specials.

Suburban Motors in Thiensville is a partner of the Wave on this charity project.
