Cincinnati, OH – Iowa Heartlanders forward Louis Boudon registered his first professional hat trick and the Heartlanders burned the Cincinnati Cyclones, 5-3, Friday at Heritage Bank Center. Boudon scored three straight goals after Iowa fell behind 1-0 early. He completed the hat trick with a power-play marker at 15:25 of the second. Boudon also had ten shots on goal, a personal best. 
After allowing a goal on the game’s first shift, the Heartlanders responded five minutes later to tie the game. While at 4-on-4, Casey Dornbach deked around a defender to the left slot and crafted a perfectly-timed pass to Boudon. His goal on the one-timed slap shot evened the score on Iowa’s fifth shot at 5:54.
Iowa scored three times in the second to take a 4-3 lead into the second intermission. Boudon scored the first two and Yuki Miura (GWG) scored to make it 4-1 with four minutes to go in the middle frame, jamming home a shot off Olof Lindbom’s pads (loss, 19 saves, 4 goals allowed). Rylan Parenteau replaced Lindbom after the fourth goal and stopped 12 shots in relief.

Anthony Firriolo (1g, 1a) provided crucial insurance halfway through the third, slapping home a feed from Dornbach at the left slot.
