Vortex Fall at Home to Express

CLEVELAND, OH – Twenty-four saves from keeper Craig Salvati help lead the 1790 Cincinnati Express to an 8-6 victory at the Multiplex.

It was a high-scoring affair as expected with 14 goals in 60 minutes.  Defender Jeff Hughes led Cincinnati with three goals, while Adam Campellone paced the Vortex with two of his own.  Midfielder Allen Eller contributed two assists for Ohio along with a single goal.  Three Cincinnati players (Kurt Fischer, Tim Brown, and Sam Fiore) each added an assist.

The Express found themselves with a 3-0 lead in the first quarter; it appeared that their experience in the indoor game was quite an advantage.  Cincinnati was able to add two more before the Vortex scored their first of the night.  Halftime found the home squad down 5-1.

The Vortex were able to make a run in the third quarter, adding two goals to bring the score to 5-3.  Hughes scored the next three goals to allow the Express to take a commanding 8-3 lead.  Matt Tutich and Adam Campellone added goals for Ohio in the 4th quarter before their coach pulled the keeper.  The tactical move added a goal from Pete Angelokostopoulos in the final minutes, but just not enough to defeat Cincinnati.

The Ohio Vortex will face the Detroit Waza in Cleveland on December 12, the same squad Cincinnati faces on December 6.
