The Thunder came out strong to start the game and kept the pressure on the Arsenal in their end forcing the keeper into making some brilliant saves.  Bluewater got on the board when Matthew Paquette scored after receiving a pass from Diego DaSilva.  Bluewater defenders Marcus Cossa, Michael Petrucci, Burke Roszell, Zachary Matias and Bennett Vani kept the powerful Arsenal forwards to the outside and didn't allow them many opportunities on goal.  Bluewater kept maintaining pressure in the second half and were rewarded when Nicholas Iacobelli scored on a head ball after receiving a beautiful cross from Nicolas DiScanno to give the Thunder a 2-0 lead.  Colin Yazdani and Daniel Cservik were instrumental in setting up Chris Dedecker for the Thunder's third goal of the game to give Bluewater what seemed like a strong 3-0 lead but the Arsenal would not roll over and scored a goal with approx. 10 minutes to play and followed up with a second goal with 5 minutes to play.  If not for some timely saves by Stefan Mallozzi, the game may have ended up tied, but instead Bluewater handed the Arsenal their first loss of the season and also were the first team to score on them in league play.

Next game for the Thunder is Monday June 7th vs the Middlesex United Rockets at SCITS field.
