MILWAUKEE (February 19, 2011) - The Milwaukee Wave's balanced offensive attack saw seven players contributing goals to give the Wave a 20-4 win over the Chicago Riot on Saturday night in the U.S. Cellular Arena.

The Wave's defensive battle in the first-quarter resulted in a scoreless quarter. Fast and energetic, the Wave tore out 7 points in the second quarter. Marco Terminesi scored first points of the game with a three-point goal, and with Ian Bennett and Kyt Selaidopoulos each adding two-point goals. Terminesi improved his point streak to 24 contests with the goal. The Wave's defense continued their dominance into the second quarter led by Nick Vorberg who had nine saves in the half.

In the third-quarter, the Wave picked up where they had left off with a goal by Ryan Mack. The Riot got onto the board with a goal by Eric Lukin. Terminesi answered with another goal giving the Wave an 11-2 lead. The Wave continued its pressure holding the Riot to just that one goal through three quarters.

The Wave opened the fourth quarter with a Travis MacKenzie goal followed by Evan McNeley nailing a 3-point goal with an assist from Josh Rife. The Riot's Miki Djerisilo punched in a goal then had two quick penalties giving the Wave another powerplay opportunity. The Wave capitalized on the powerplay with a goal by Hewerton which put the Wave on top 20-4 ending the game.
