What: Game 2, National Conference finals 7 p.m. Saturday, Bradley Center

Radio: WEMP-AM (1250)

Wave at a glance:

Record: 34-13 (3-0 in post-season).

Coach: Keith Tozer (216-133, eighth season; 432-299, 17th season overall).

Drillers at a glance:

Record: 24-23 (2-1 in post-season).

Coach: Ross Ongaro (91-88, fourth season).

The lowdown:

The Wave leads the best-of-three series, 1-0, after beating the Drillers, 13-7, in Edmonton on Thursday night. Milwaukee can advance to the National Professional Soccer League finals with a victory tonight or in a possible third game. If Game 3 is necessary, it will be played at 1 p.m. Sunday at the Bradley Center. Tickets are available at the Wave office, the Bradley Center ticket office or through Ticketmaster. . . . Tozer said he expected to have team captain and veteran target forward Michael King in the lineup tonight. King traveled to Edmonton but did not play due to a right leg injury he suffered against Wichita in the first round of the playoffs. Wave trainer Larry Sayles wanted to keep King off the hard surface at the Skyreach Centre. . . . Wave goalkeeper Victor Nogueira made 20 saves, including several spectacular stops, and the Wave defense had 32 blocked shots in the series opener. . . . Milwaukee is 21-2 at home this season, including a 4-0 mark against the Drillers. The last time the teams met at the Bradley Center, on March 19, the Wave won, 4-2, in OT.
