SHOTS FROM THE POINT:

Back on the Road: The Cyclones return to the road for their final lengthy trip of the season, making their way to the Palmetto State for a trio of games.

Then, on Saturday night, the Clones make their way to Charleston to face the South Carolina Stingrays at 7:05pm. Fans can watch all the action LIVE at Game Time Sports Bar and Grill in Cheviot.

Tempo Setters: The Cyclones have found their best success when pulling out in front early in games. They are a stellar 20-9-1-1 when striking the game's opening goal and a perfect 19-0 when pulling out in front 2-0.

Hat's Off: Cyclones forward Jack Downing has started off his Cincinnati career in impressive fashion. He became the first Cyclones player this season to earn a hat trick this past Saturday.
