Ontario Fury News Release
The Ontario Fury, Driven by Mark Christopher Chevrolet, got a hat trick from Nick Perera, but could not slow down the Southwest Division leading Soles de Sonora in the fourth quarter in an 8-4 loss Friday night at Citizens Business Bank Arena. Sonora (10-1) got two goals apiece from Franck Tayou, Gustavo Rosales and Daniel Lopez as it was able to score the game's final three goals in the fourth quarter, turning a one-goal game into the final score. Ontario (4-7) trailed 3-0 after the first period, but pulled back to 5-3 at halftime thanks to two second quarter goals by Perera and one by Maicon de Abreu, his first as a professional. But a shorthanded goal by Rosales late in the period gave the Soles the two-goal lead at intermission. Perera scored unassisted midway through the third quarter, putting the Fury back within one, but the Soles shut the door from there. And a costly turnover early in the fourth quarter led to the second of Rosales' two goals and Sonora closed out the game scoring the final two goals, including one into the Fury's vacated net. Goaltender Joey Kapinos kept the Fury in the game, making 13 saves, despite having the leave the game late in the second quarter after taking a boot to the face. He matched his counterpart from Sonora, Diego Reynoso, who also recorded 13 saves.
