Irons Win Third Straight

Lucio Gonzaga And Brett Phillips

It took less than a month for the Ironmen to climb out of the cellar and into a three way tie for first place in the standings.

After dropping the first two meetings of the season, the Irons (3-2) have regrouped and put together a three game win streak. Their latest win came this Sunday at home against the Milwaukee Wave (3-2), who have held the top spot on the XSL table all season.

After a relatively low scoring first half, the Ironmen began to pull away midway through third quarter when Lucio Gonzaga created space outside the arc and beat Marcel Feenstra for a 3-point strike to bring the score to 7-2.

Gonzaga would add another three-pointer later in the game to bring his team leading goal total to seven. The goal was part of a seven point Ironmen fourth quarter that saw Frederico Moojen pick up his third goal on the year and Chile Farias his second on a chip shot over a retreating Milwaukee sixth attacker. The scoring spree ended the match at 14-4 in favor of the Irons.

Brett Phillips was back in goal for the Ironmen. The veteran keeper picked up his second win on the season.

The victory was the Irons' first over the Wave in franchise history. The Wave have now dropped their last two.
