After a rare and heartbreaking overtime loss at home last week, the 7-time champion Milwaukee Wave hit the road and head west for a pair of games; Saturday night at San Diego and then Monday afternoon at Empire.
“We know it’s not going to be easy but we also know we have a talented group of guys,” said Milwaukee Wave Assistant Coach Tenzin Rampa. “We’re looking to have a big rebound performance after our last game but we have to play smart and minimize mistakes; against both teams.”
The San Diego Sockers went on a 10-game winning streak before it was snapped by Kansas City Friday, February 7; since then, they took down St. Louis in overtime and split a home and away series with Chihuahua last weekend. They are ranked 2nd in the standings; the Wave are ranked 5th.
“San Diego has shown a level of consistency this season like no other,” added Rampa. “Historically the Sockers are very successful; but so are we! That’s something the coaching staff has been working really hard on this week; reminding ourselves that we are in fact a championship caliber team, we just need to rise to the occasion and take care of business one game at a time.”
