After the break, PERLES doubled the lead in the 42nd minute with an unassisted direct kick before he later assisted on senior JORDAN BEAVER's goal off a corner in minute 56. Senior TAMIR KHEIRI then took an assist from junior TYLER ROSINI in the 68th minute to complete the scoreline and the season-opening victory. Senior goalkeeper JOSH HACKENBERG recorded 5 saves as the entire Ironmen defense earned the shutout.
