Milwaukee, WI – The Cleveland Gladiators second half struggles led to an 82-54 loss to the Milwaukee Iron at the Bradley Center on Saturday night.  With the loss, the Gladiators fall to 4-6 while the Iron improves to 7-3 on the year.

Tied 41-41 at the half, the Gladiators offense never found a rhythm in the second half, as they were outscored by the Iron 21-7 in the third quarter and 20-6 in the fourth.

Leading the Iron was quarterback Chris Greisen, who completed 23-of-28 passes for 286 yards and six touchdowns on the night.  Tiger Jones led all receivers with six touchdown catches while hauling in 138 yards.  The six touchdown receptions are the most by one player versus the Gladiators this season.
