Wave defeat Dallas in Milwaukee; finish out regular season

The Milwaukee Wave clinched their return to the MASL playoffs in search of their next Major Arena Soccer League title with an 8-2 victory over the Dallas Sidekicks on Saturday, April 2. 

It was the Wave that jumped out from the beginning to calm the nerves of fans with a four goal first half and a stout defensive performance.

Alex Bradley got the Wave off the mark 45 seconds into the match and was followed by Gordy Gurson in first half goals. Andre Hayne and Mario Alvarez notched two more goals in the second period, but it was the Wave’s ability to limit the Sidekicks attack which allowed them the ease to flow through the rest of the game.
