Milwaukee Wave Wins at U.S. Cellular Milwaukee | Norfolk New to Indoor Soccer

It was a great night for Milwaukee Wave defender Joe Hammes as he scored three goals at the U.S. Cellular Arena last night. The recipient of his scoring barrage was a Norfolk team that had no hope of slowing him down. The Wave went on to a 21-7 victory, and Milwaukee fans went home happy.

Norfolk New to Indoor Soccer
The Wave built up a ten point cushion before Norfolk scored their first points of the evening. Norfolk is a new team, and has yet to put a "W" up on their stats sheet. They are still getting their "sea legs" when it comes to indoor soccer, so their fans need to cut them some slack. When the Wave were new to the indoor soccer world, they lost their first seven or eight games. Keith Tozer says that there is a bunch of talent on the Norfolk bench, and in time they will be winning games.

For the Wave, all of their scoring came in the first three quarters. Norfolk rallied in the second, cutting Milwaukee's lead in half, but that's as close as they got to being a real threat. Hammes had the hot foot last night, and there was no stopping him. Each team had a penalty, Norfolk was charged for too many men, and Milwaukee had one for dangerous play. Other than that, it was a night of fun for the fans that made it down to the U.S. Cellular Arena.
