THE KING AND PRINCE UNITE!

The biggest news of the season that broke just before the team left for San Diego was the acquisition of 4-time MASL MVP Franck Tayou from the St. Louis Ambush.  

Milwaukee sends Robbie Williamson and Cash Considerations to the Ambush and in return would acquire the services of the King of the MASL.   

With the signing of Tayou, Milwaukee now has the services of the top 2 all-time goal scorers in the league in Franck and Ian Bennett.   

Through 14 games played this season Franck Tayou has tallied 17 goals and 9 assists good for 26 points. Since 2014 season, 217 games played, 420 goals scored, 143 assists good for a total of 563 points.  

Through 16 games played this season Ian Bennett has tallied 15 goals and 1 assist good for 16 points. Since 2014 season, 214 games played, 409 goals scored and 90 assists good for a total of 499 points.

“This is awesome!” exclaimed Bennett. “I’m excited to play with Franck again like we did on the National Team. He brings alot to the table and honestly we need some more firepower right now. It’s time to get hot, catch fire and it all starts Sunday against our rivals. If we can have a good performance with a big crowd I think we going to be alright.”  

Reflecting on the news Head Coach Giuliano Oliviero stated "We were struggling to score goals, and now we are adding the MASL all time leader in points, so  I am very excited to have the opportunity to work with Franck."  

Franck Tayou statement on social media: “Thank you for the memories and the lessons St. Louis Ambush. I choose to focus on finishing the season better than it started and pouring all my energy into helping the Milwaukee Wave Professional Soccer Team make a push for the Ron Newman Cup.  I can’t wait to get to work and play for such a historical franchise.”  

Check out Franck 'The King' Tayou in his first game as a member of the Wave this Sunday at 4pm against the rival Kansas City Comets in beautiful downtown Milwaukee.
