It didn't take the Waterloo Black Hawks long to find their offense Saturday in Green Bay. Not quite five minutes into the first period, John Lee scored a powerplay goal, the first of five tallies on the evening as the Hawks earned a decisive 5-1 victory.

Lee's goal was the only one in the opening period, but Waterloo had a similar beginning to the second. A two-man advantage to start the period went for naught, but before the shift ended Matt Arhontas put in the game's second goal. A key penalty kill on a Gambler two-man advantage in the mid-second, coupled with a Billy Maday goal on a scramble in the Green Bay goal mouth gave Waterloo a brief 3-0 lead. With one second remaining during the middle period Sergio Somma would score the only Green Bay goal on a powerplay.

Waterloo finished the win in the third period. Craig Smith stole a puck and forced Gambler netminder Nick Graves out of position, allowing Kyle Reeds to convert on a scoring opportunity. Smith would score himself in the final minutes with the net empty. Ryan Rondeau stopped 23 of 24 shots in the win.

The Black Hawks are scheduled for a home-and-home series against Des Moines next beginning on Friday at KGGO Arena. Waterloo returns home on Saturday to host the Buccaneers at 7:05.
