Augusta, GA. - The Checkers were down by two goals late in the contest and took 22 seconds to tie the game against Augusta but eventually faltered in overtime losing by a score of 4-3.
The Checkers struck first on the power play during the first stanza when Jeff Miles skated out of the left wing corner and stuffed a shot past Lynx netminder, Mike Brodeur at 9:43 putting Charlotte up 1-0. The Lynx would tie the game after Matt Auffrey fired a shot on Checkers goalie Jeff Jakaitis and the rebound went right to an open Patrick Bordeleau who blasted it into a gaping net at 13:48 tying things up at 1-1 after twenty minutes.
The lone goal of the second period was scored by Augusta on the power play when Scott Thauwald found a loose puck in the crease and slid it past Jakaitis at 1:20 putting the Lynx up 2-0 after forty minutes.
