He added his 2nd and 3rd of the match before halftime, scoring in the 33rd and 41st as well. The Mountaineers would add another in the 84th minute.
The loss for Redeemer is it's first against Mohawk in it's last 7 games. The Royals entered the match on a 5-game win streak and 6 game undefeated streak (5-0-1), having not lost since October of 2015.
