It was the Tropics third loss in their last five games \u2013 playing a stretch of eight games in 18 days \u2013 and second straight after falling at home to Chihuahua 9-5 last Friday. The team has allowed 29 goals in their last three games, the most goals ever given up over a three-game stretch in franchise history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Florida will be home in Lakeland this weekend for a pair of games against the Harrisburg Heat. Friday night\u2019s kickoff is at 7 p.m. and Sunday\u2019s start is at 3 p.m. Both games will be broadcast live on the MASL TV on Twitch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Tuesday, the Tropics led just once at 1-0 when Ricardo Carvalho got the first goal of the game. The teams were tied 2-2 after the first quarter, and Emprie\u2019s lead was just 3-2 at intermission before the Strykers offensive floodgates opened, including five goals in the fourth quarter alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carvalho finished with two goals and one assist, while Kiel Williams had a goal and two assists to lead Florida\u2019s attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gabriel Costs had a four-point night for Empire with three goals and an assist. While Israel Seasay and Justin Stinson had two goals each. No less than eight Empire players had at least two points in the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Florida fell to 4-2-1 on the season (one overtime loss) while Ontario improved to 2-3-1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
