CYCLONES FALL IN INDY
Cincinnati Drops Second-Straight, Wrap up Weekend Sunday in Kalamazoo
Indianapolis, IN- The Cincinnati Cyclones (5-4-1-0) dropped a 4-1 decision to the Indy Fuel on Saturday night. Forward Jesse Schultz scored the lone goal for the ‘Clones.
After a scoreless opening period that saw the Fuel have a goal disallowed from forward Bobby MacIntyre, Indy took a 2-0 lead on back-to-back goals from forwards Spencer Watson and Jake Schultz, 12:04 into the middle frame.
Cincinnati stole some of the momentum back 1:14 later when forward Justin Vaivetook a shot that was stopped by Indy netminder Chase Marchand, however Schultz was in front to poke the puck loose and into the net to trim the Cyclones deficit to 2-1.
The Fuel took their one-goal lead into the locker room after the second, and in the third they tacked on one more mid-way through when forward Karl El-Mir tallied his fourth goal of the season. Cincinnati had some chances late in the frame, however an empty netter from MacIntyre with 49 seconds remaining sealed Indy’s 4-1 victory.
The Cyclones were outshot, 36-27 on the evening, with goaltender Sean Romeo stopping 32 in the loss. Cincinnati concludes their three-game weekend on Sunday afternoon in Kalamazoo against the Wings. Face-off is slated for 3:00pm ET.
