Vortex Fall at the Cincinnati Gardens

Nov. 28, 2010 - PRLog -- CINCINNATI, OH - The Ohio Vortex (1-2) limped to their first road loss of the season, falling 10-6 to the Cincinnati Kings (4-0).  The undefeated Kings improved to 18-0 at home.  

The Vortex would get goals from Jared Dombrowski (2), Steve Gillespie, Allen Eller, Milko Cecez, and John Ball.  Dombrowski and fellow defender Ross Cochran would lead the defense with 2 blocks apiece.  Assists would come from Cecez, Eller, and Ball.

Vortex newcomer Eric Sebor got his first professional start in goal and came away with 11 saves after facing 20 shots. The Canton, OH-based club certainly stayed competitive, but a second half surge from Cincinnati put the nail in the coffin.

The Kings' attack was certainly potent and firing on all cylinders.  Eddie Hertsenberg, Jeff Hughes and Drew Ducker each added two goals while Kenney Bertz, Matt Breines, Kwame Sarkodie and George Davis chipped in one goal apiece. Hughes continues to lead the Kings in scoring and is building quite a case to repeat as league MVP, far surpassing Eller's performance on Saturday night.  

Cincinnati's Craig Salvati once again showed his goalkeeping brilliance after tallying 11 saves from 17 shots, earning his fourth consecutive win.  

The Vortex now head home to prepare for a December 4th rematch with the Kings. Ohio will then finish up the four-game series when they return to the Cincinnati Gardens on January 29th.
