WAVE ROLLS INTO NEW YORK FOR PAIR OF GAMES THIS WEEKEND AGAINST UTICA CITY FC.

After an exciting overtime win against Tacoma with extracurriculars, the 7-time champion Milwaukee Wave head east this weekend and look to keep that winning momentum going against Utica City FC Saturday and Sunday at Adirondack Bank Center.

“Utica has a good team and some fast players that can get up and down the field really quick,” said Milwaukee Wave Head Coach Giuliano Oliviero. “They’ve got a special player in Kelvin Oliveira, who averages 3 to 4 points a game; they’ve got Vinny Dantas who was apart of the Baltimore Blast during all those years of great rivalry games, he’s always had success against us and just one of those guys we want to slow down; Kelvin too. We know we’re going to have our hands full but we’re ready for the task.”

The Milwaukee Wave comes into this game on a four-game winning streak and missing some key players like Derek Huffman and Qudus Lawal because of suspension. Utica is on a three-game losing streak and hasn’t won since December 29, 2024 against Harrisburg.

“We have been working hard, working smart and we’ve got a game plan going into Utica,” added Oliviero. “We’re looking forward to it. Utica has a great venue and the fans always make it tough for us. We’re up for the challenge.”
