The Des Moines Buccaneers finished a three-game weekend of road games with a 3-2 overtime loss in Waterloo, halting the team's win streak at four games.
In a scoreless first period, the Buccaneers and Black Hawks went back and forth with 9 shots on goal apiece, and 9 saves for goaltender Jonathan Reinholdt.
