Waterloo Black Hawks News Release
On the strength of a four goal second period, the Waterloo Black Hawks rallied by the Des Moines Buccaneers 7-3 Saturday.
Des Moines led 2-0 after 20 minutes on two goals by Richard Purslow. Josh Turnbull started the comeback early in the second with his fifth goal of the season against Des Moines on a long shot from the point. Isak Tranvik tied the game and Tim Gilbert put the Hawks ahead, midway through the second, both set up by Kyle Reeds. During a five-on-three powerplay, Matt Arhontas fired in a one-timer that proved to be the game winner.
Des Moines scored at 2:10 of the third to cut Waterloo's lead to one, but Reeds, Brett Barta, and Craig Smith would put pucks in before the final buzzer.
The Hawks are off until after Christmas, returning to take on the Indiana Ice in Indianapolis on December 29th. The next Black Hawks home game is New Years' Eve against the rival Cedar Rapids Rough Riders.
