The Orlando Sharks (0-3) hit the
road for the second consecutive week as they head to Milwaukee to take on the
Wave (1-2) this Saturday at U.S. Cellular Arena. The Sharks are coming off of a hard fought
loss in Baltimore
against the Blast on Saturday November 10th in a game that saw the
team trail 8-0 five minutes into the contest.
After a spirited comeback in which the Sharks cut the lead to 8-7
mid-way through the third quarter, the Blast put the game away with two quick goals
in the fourth quarter for a 14-7 victory.
The Match-Up
The upcoming contest is the first
ever meting between the expansion Sharks and the long standing Wave, who are
the longest running professional indoor soccer team in North
America. This season marks
the 24th consecutive season for the Milwaukee franchise.
Previous Game
The Orlando Sharks took their
show on the road for the first time this season as they traveled to Baltimore to take on the
three-time MISL Champion Blast for the second time in a week. The outcome
was virtually identical to the first meeting at Amway Arena in Orlando
on November 3rd as the Sharks came out on the wrong end of a 14-7
loss in front of a raucous crowd at the 1st Mariner Arena in
downtown Baltimore.
Sharks Head Coach Jake Dancy did
his best to keep the team in the game and showed how with a little more
seasoning and experience the Sharks will reach the elite level and eventually
climb to the top of the league standings themselves. The team played with
heart and determination as they battled all night and proved they will not roll
over for anyone in this, their inaugural season.
Shark Attack
The offensive attack for the
Sharks was led by several players who notched their first goals of the
season. Simba Harris and Micki Djerisilo each netted two point goals,
while Dion Jagroo nailed a three-pointer.
Goal-Keeper Paul Nagy stood out once again and showed that he will keep the Sharks competitive in
every game this season as he turned away countless chances and came away with
13 saves.
