Splash Losing Streak Reaches 4 in Portland

The Splash dropped its fourth consecutive game, losing 5-4, to the Portland Pride in a Continental Indoor Soccer game Saturday at the Rose Garden in Portland.

Ben Erickson’s second goal of the game, at 13:59 of the third quarter, gave the Pride (7-9) the lead. The victory was Portland’s third straight.

Thor Lee led the Splash (5-7) attack with two goals. The Splash played without Bernie Lilavois, whose back was injured in a collision along the boards Thursday against Seattle. Lilavois, who has 15 goals and seven assists, was released from the hospital Thursday but is expected to miss today’s game against Arizona, the Western Division’s last-place team.
