Frederico MoojenThe Ironmen (1-2) earned their first win of the 2008-09 campaign this afternoon when they defeated the Chicago Storm (2-3) by a count of 13-7 at the Sears Centre. The victory snaps a 10-game road skid that dates back to last season.
Ryan Hall opened the scoring for the Ironmen with an unassisted shorthanded goal in the second period. The tally was the veteran defender's first of the season.
Also among the New Jersey scorers was 2007-2008 MISL Rookie of the Year Frederico Moojen, who netted his first and second goals on the year. Both of Moojen's strikes came during a 10-point Ironmen offensive explosion in the second period.
The potent second frame also saw the Ironmen convert their first powerplay of the season when forward Aduato Neto scored off of a Chile Farias feed.
We here at the Local Fe26 are relieved that the Ironmen are finally in the win column. An 0-3 start would have been ugly. The Irons' next match will be this Friday at the Prudential Center. Check back for a game preview.
