Florida Everblades News Release
Columbia, SC - The Florida Everblades (7-4-0) picked up their first road win of the season with a 3- victory over the Columbia Inferno (8-5-1) on Wednesday night at the Carolina Coliseum in Columbia.

Ronan opened the scoring 6:07 into the game on a wrist shot that beat Inferno net-minder Chris Houle in the upper left corner of the net. The goal was the rookie's second of the season and gave the âBlades a 1-0 lead which stood heading into the third period until Ronan gave Florida a 2-0 lead just 16 seconds into the final frame. Ernie Hartlieb closed out the scoring with his sixth goal of the season at 17:53 of third period to seal the win.

Houle suffered the loss for the Inferno dropping his record to 4-4-0 after allowing three goals on 42 Florida shots.
