The Orlando SeaWolves fell behind three separate times and didn’t score a single goal in the first half. But Richard Schmermund’s second-half hat trick — plus an assist and a huge defensive play — led the SeaWolves to a 6-4 comeback win on the road against the Kansas City Comets. Orlando (7-8) snapped a season long three-game losing streak to creep closer to second-place Kansas City (9-8) in the South Central Division.
“First half I was trying to find my legs,” Schmermund said after the game. “Second half, I came out and good things happened.”
Thiago Freitas returned from a knee injury but Victor France was still out with a hamstring issue and defender Derek Huffman sat out the first match of his two-game suspension.
