The Blast's nine-game winning streak ended Friday night with a 12-10 loss to the Chicago Soul.

Down 10-0 in the first quarter, the visiting Blast fought back but was unable to tie the score.

Ephraim Beard scored the first goal of the night, putting the Soul on top 2-0 before Eric Lukin added a 3-pointer three minutes later. Beard scored again, making it 7-0, and Carlos Munoz scored the Soul's fourth first-quarter goal to extend the lead to 10-0 before Pat Healey's goal cut it to 10-2.

After 22 scoreless minutes, Lukin scored his second goal of the game to put the Soul on top 12-6.

J.T. Noone started the Blast's late surge in the third quarter with his first goal of the season to cut the deficit to 12-8. Healey's second goal put the Blast within two points with less than 90 seconds remaining, but Baltimore's sixth-attacker offense was unable to score again.
