The Milwaukee Wave have had the best record in the Major Indoor Soccer League all season, but aren't in the best form heading into the postseason.

Byron Alvarez scored six goals and racked up 13 points – the most by an MISL player this season – as the Missouri Comets thumped the Wave 21-6 in a regular-season finale watched by 4,182 fans Sunday afternoon in Independence, Mo.

She's on a different continent and playing at a different level, but one big thing remains the same for Sarah Hagen (Appleton North/UW-Milwaukee): She scores goals.

Hagen found the back of the net twice in her professional debut to help carry host Bayern Munich to a 3-0 victory over Freiburg in a Frauen Bundesliga match Sunday.

Patrick Hodan added another award to his impressive resume this week.

The Milwaukee Marquette senior striker, who is headed to Notre Dame in the fall, was named the Gatorade Wisconsin boys soccer player of the year for 2011.

Playing the first of four straight matches against the Missouri Comets, the Milwaukee Wave found themselves down by eight points at halftime Friday night.

But Hewerton Moreira led a second-half comeback, sparking an 11-0 run and scoring what proved to be the game-winner as the Wave stormed back for a 15-14 victory in a Major Indoor Soccer League game watched by 3,892 in Independence, Mo.

Tosaint Ricketts (UW-Green Bay) continues to be a regular for the Canadian national team.

The forward from Romanian club FC Politehnica Timişoara was one of 17 players called into training camp ahead of an international friendly against Armenia on Wednesday in Limassol, Cyprus.

Marcio Leite and Marco Terminesi scored two goals apiece and goalkeeper Marcel Feenstra made 21 saves as the Milwaukee Wave topped the host Syracuse Silver Knights 15-12 in a Major Indoor Soccer League match Wednesday night, snapping a three-game losing streak.

Leite had a three-pointer and a two-point goal in a 45-second span in the second quarter, sparking a 9-0 run for the Central Division champion Wave (17-5).

The largest President's Cup in the 19-year history of Madison United's annual indoor soccer tournament wrapped up Sunday night.

And when the small, rubber pellets settled at Keva Sports Center, a few hours after the final games of the weekend at BreakAway Sports Center in Madison, there was a little bit of everything:

A first-time champion, a repeat winner, teams setting and tying President's Cup records for titles in their respective divisions and a Cinderella story, with plenty of close games, close calls and drama to boot.

The Milwaukee Wave have lost more games in the past week than they did in the first three months of the Major Indoor Soccer League season.

Gerson Dos Santos scored his second goal of the game with 59 seconds left, capping a fourth-quarter comeback as the host Norfolk SharX stunned the Wave 14-13 in front of 1,890 fans Sunday afternoon.

It's been a case of feast or famine for the Milwaukee Wave against the rival Baltimore Blast this season.

The host Blast blanked the Wave over the middle two quarters, rallied from an early deficit and held off a fourth-quarter rally as they posted a 17-13 victory over Milwaukee in a Major Indoor Soccer League game watched by 9,644 on Saturday night.

Fourteen teams collected the maximum points possible Saturday as Madison United's 19th annual President's Cup indoor soccer tournament started at BreakAway Sports Center in Madison and Keva Sports Center in Middleton.

A record 88 teams hit the turf, all playing at least two group matches – four Women's Open teams and four Men's Open sides played three times, completing pool play.

Marquette defender Vanessa Legault-Cordisco and midfielder Diamond Simpson, an incoming University of Wisconsin recruit, are in San Jose, Costa Rica, for a training camp with the Canadian Under-20 women's team.

Twenty-two players were called into the 14-day camp, after which new coach Andrew Oliviero will select a 20-player roster for the CONCACAF Under-20 Championships in Panama City, Panama.

Despite Women's Professional Soccer suspending operations for the 2012 season, Leslie Osborne (Brookfield/Waukesha Catholic Memorial) will continue her professional soccer career.

The 28-year-old midfielder re-signed with the Boston Breakers, who will play in the new Women's Premier Soccer League Elite League.

It was a little like the old youth soccer days for the four Men's Over-30 teams that kicked off Madison United's annual President's Cup indoor tournament Saturday morning at BreakAway Sports Center, up and on the field bright and early.

Well, maybe.

"I don't know," Madison United's Jared Burdick (Madison La Follette/UW-Platteville) said.

The so-called "soft" red card is being shown the door in high school soccer.

Starting in the 2012-13 school year – or the prep boys season in Wisconsin – players who will receive a second yellow card not only will be sent off, but their team will not be allowed to replace them. This follows the standard rule on red cards used on nearly every other level of soccer.

A record 88 teams will play in Madison United's 19th annual President's Cup indoor soccer tournament this weekend.

And it looks like a record that won't be broken – unless event organizers decide to make a significant format change or expand to a third facility.

"We can't go any more.

Last season, Scott Lorenz (UW) spent time with the NSC Minnesota Stars, who went on to win the inaugural North American Soccer League title.

Now the defender has joined the team the Stars beat to win the championship: The Fort Lauderdale Strikers.

"Scott is an attacking player who we feel can play in defense and in the midfield," Strikers coach Daryl Shore said in a news release Monday.

It looks like the Major Indoor Soccer League Central Division playoff series could be quite the battle.

Vahid Assadpour had a hat trick and goalkeeper Danny Waltman made 24 saves as the Missouri Comets held off the Milwaukee Wave 17-14 Sunday afternoon in front of a season-high crowd of 5,964 at U.

While Major League Soccer teams head into the final weeks of preseason and players in the North American Soccer League and USL PRO teams are finalizing their 2012 plans, Aaron Hohlbein (Middleton/UW) is in Madison working to get healthy and hoping for a shot with one of those teams later this season.

The Milwaukee Wave's league-leading attack sputtered after a strong start Friday night, but that didn't stop the Wave from clinching the Major Indoor Soccer League Central Division title.

Marco Terminesi had a hand in all three goals, setting up the first two and scoring the third, and goalkeeper Nick Vorberg allowed just one late goal on a deflected shot as the Wave held off the Wichita Wings 6-3 in front of 3,241 fans at U.

A late withdrawal prompted changes to two Men's Over-30 groups and the schedule for Madison United's 19th annual President's Cup indoor soccer tournament, which is next weekend at BreakAway Sports Center in Madison and Keva Sports Center in Middleton.

The St. Charles Celtics pulled out of the event and were replaced by Madison-area team Galaxy.
