Lazers Beat Steamers for Third Win in Row

Forward Chico Borja scored power-play goals in the second and third periods to lead the Lazers past the St. Louis Steamers, 2-1, Saturday night in St. Louis.

The victory was the third straight for the Lazers (7-7), who are back home to play the Dallas Sidekicks tonight at 6 at the Forum.

Borja scored his second goal with a 40-foot shot past St. Louis goalkeeper Pat Baker late in the second period to give the Lazers a 2-0 lead.

The Steamers, losers of six of their last eight games, fell to 6-9.
