Cleveland scored four straight goals to overcome a 3-1 deficit and hold on to win 5-4 over the Cincinnati Cyclones at Firstar Center. It was the IHL Cyclones' first regulation loss on home ice since Nov.26.

        Byron Ritchie, Greg Koehler and Craig MacDonald scored the Cyclones' first three goals, but the Lumberjacks punched in four straight, including a power play goal by Christian Matte that gave Cleveland its first lead.
