Fayetteville Marksmen News Release
FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. - The Fayetteville Marksmen got help from new lineup additions and Troy Kobryn made 37 saves for his first SPHL win to take down the Peoria Rivermen 5-2 at the Crown Coliseum Friday.
New additions to the Marksmen lineup factored in almost immediately and set up the 1-0 goal at 5:26 of the first period. Justin Daly (2) powered the puck to the bottom of the o-zone, before sending it back to Nick Parody (5), who fired in a shot for Frankie Trazzera's (1) tip-in. Before the end of the frame, Connor Fries dropped the gloves and gave the crowd even more to cheer about- Kobryn stopped all 15 shots he faced.
Fayetteville extended its lead to 2-0 past the halfway point of the period. Daly (4) won a puck battle in his own zone and set up a give-and-go with Anthony Yurkins (8) that resulted in Daly's first goal as a Marksmen. Peoria later found the back of the forced a 2-1 game heading into the third period.
The two teams traded too many men on the ice penalties near the halfway point of the third, and Fayetteville extended its lead while 4-on-4. Fries (8) took advantage of a broken play off the netminder and sent the puck into the top shelf at nine minutes. Nearly five minutes later, the Rivermen made it 3-2. The Marksmen locked down defensively and scored twice off a 5-on-3 opportunity late. Justin Michaelian (2) finished on a passing play from Tyler Barrow (13) and Daly (3), before Grant Loven (17) set up John Moncovich (7) to ice the game 5-2.
The two teams rematch on Saturday for Monochrome Night. Single-game tickets can be found at marksmenhockey.com.
