ORLANDO, Fla. - Jake Coughler scored three goals for his team's first hat trick of the season and Jerry D'Amigo enjoyed a three-point day as the Orlando Solar Bears (13-10-3-0) capped the week with a 4-1 win over the Jacksonville Icemen (10-11-1-1) by a 4-1 score on Sunday afternoon at VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena.
