DUBUQUE - Jacob Hayhurst scored a power-play goal at the 14:27 mark of the third period Friday night to snap a 3-3 tie and help the Cedar Rapids RoughRiders trim Dubuque, 4-3, in a USHL game before 2,378 fans at the Mystique Ice Center.

Matt Filipe and Luke Morgan collected assists on the game-winning goal.

The RoughRiders trailed 3-1 in the second period before storming back with three straight goals for the victory. Ross Colton pulled Cedar Rapids within 3-2 and Cal Burke tied the game 3-3 at the 13:26 mark of the second stanza.
