Milwaukee Wave wraps up regular season with 8-7 OT win over Syracuse

MILWAUKEE -- The playoff-bound Milwaukee Wave on Saturday, Feb. 24, wrapped up the regular season with a win over the Syracuse Silver Knights at the Oncenter War Memorial Arena in Syracuse, New York.

The final score was 8-7.

"You've got to give credit to Syracuse," said Wave Head Coach Giuliano Oliviero in a statement. "They are an excellent team and took us to the brink today. They are capable of taking the next step against Baltimore in the playoffs."

The Wave is now preparing to face the Florida Tropics on March 3 -- for the first and only time this season.

"Florida is also very talented on the offensive side of the ball and are capable of hurting us but we will be ready for whatever they bring Saturday," said Oliviero. "We're going to assess our health, see who we need to rest and who can step up for a complete 60 minute game on Saturday. We're looking forward to it."
