Marcel Hartel News: Nets brace in win

Hartel scored two goals off five shots (three on target), created four chances and sent in five crosses (one accurate) during Saturday's 3-1 win over Austin.

Hartel was an easy pick for man of the match here as he opened the scoring with a spectacular long-range finish in the 28th minute then put his team ahead again just before halftime and even found time to put his teammates in scoring position multiple times. After a very disappointing first half of the season, the attacker is finally thriving with St. Louis, with four goals off 11 shots, one assist and 10 chances created over his last four starts.
