Monterrey, Mexico, March 14, 2004 â The Philadelphia KiXX (17-13) were defeated by the Monterrey Fury (8-19) by a score of 7-4 tonight in the team's final regular-season trip to the Monterrey Arena. David Pereyra registered the game winner for the Fury at 10:06 of the fourth quarter. Peter Pappas (15-8) too the loss for the KiXX in his first action since February 22, while Hector Mireles improved to 8-14 with the win for Monterrey.
Marco Coria opened the scoring at 3:12 of the first quarter to provide the Fury with an early 1-0 advantage, but player/coach Don D'Ambra connected with Goran Vasic at 6:01 to knot the score at 1-1.
