Irons in the USL (Weekly Update)

John Krause started the week off on a high note when he scored his second goal of the season to help lift the Puerto Rico Islanders over Dan Antoniuk's Carolina RailHawks by a score of 3-0. The win was the Islanders' second of the year.

The RailHawks' luck didn't change in their second match of the week against Miami FC. The RailHawks were unable to recover from an early goal in the first minute and ultimately fell by a count of 2-0. The loss was their third straight in league play. Antoniuk played the full 90 minutes and registered three shots on goal.

But it was (former?) Ironmen forward Mauricio Salles who had the most remarkable week among USL players. Salles tallied two goals and an assist in the Rochester Rhinos' 3-0 blowout of the Vancouver Whitecaps at waterlogged PAETEC PARK on Friday night. Salles now has three goals and two assists on the season.
