He marked Detroit s Mike Birney, who led the Titans with a hat trick the previous week in a loss to then-no. 19 Ohio State. Birney s lone score against the Mids was an extra-man strike Kiernan grabbed a career-high 11 ground balls to go with two caused turnovers, and scored a man-down goal for the ninth of his career.
