TOLEDO, Ohio - The Cincinnati Cyclones used a 26 save effort from rookie goaltender Robert Mayer and a Barret Ehgoetz goal for a 1-0 win at Toledo on Friday night. The shutout was the second of the season for Mayer.

It was the first 1-0 victory for the Cyclones since January 5, 2007 when Mathieu Aubin had the only marker in a 31 save effort from Cedrick Desjardins in a triumph over Reading.

The game was scoreless through the opening twenty minutes. Each team had opportunities to score, with the Cyclones having two power play chances in the first term. The shots on goal were even at ten each.

The Cyclones opened the scoring with the only tally of the second period. Barret Ehgoetz, who became the club's all-time leading scorer on Wednesday night, snapped a shot past Toledo goaltender Alec Richards at 2:55 of the period. The score was assisted by Scott Marchesi and Scott Reynolds. Ehgoetz, the leading scorer in the series, has seven goals and six assists for 13 points at the expense of the Walleye. Later in the frame, Toledo had a two-on-one opportunity that goaltender Robert Mayer was able to thwart to protect the lead. The shots again were even at nine each in the period.

There was no scoring as the Cyclones were able to hold off the Walleye charge that featured three power play chances in the final frame-including a five-on-three situation for twenty seconds. The shots favored Cincinnati, 12-7, in the period and 31-26 for the game.

Robert Mayer improved to 14-7 on the season with his 26 save performance. Toledo goaltender Alec Richards drops to 13-7-3 on the year with his 30 save effort. Cincinnati was zero for six on the power play, while Toledo was zero for four with the man-advantage.

It was the twelfth time this season that the Cyclones skated at least a player short and the third straight contest that the club has been in this position. The squad is 8-4 in these contests.

Cincinnati is 32-17-1, while Toledo is 25-20-4. The Cyclones return to U.S. Bank Arena tomorrow night for ‘Barret Ehgoetz Kids Replica Jersey T-Shirt Night' with a 7:30pm clash against Johnstown. The club heads to Johnstown for a Valentine's Day showdown with the Chiefs at 7pm.
