Augusta Lynx News Release


The Augusta Lynx used three goals in the 3rd period to propel them to a 5-2 win over the Florida Everblades in the first of a three-game road swing in Florida.

The two teams were tied in wins and in the standings heading into Friday's game, but two goals from #21 Bobby Bolt and goals from #11 Matt Christie, #20 Matt Auffrey, and #12 Ryan Dingle, along with 34 saves from #30 Bobby Goepfert drove the Lynx to victory.

The Lynx controlled most of the 1st period, outshooting the Everblades 14-9, however it would be the Everblades who struck first with a late goal from Brad Brown.

The Lynx answered back in the 2nd period with a penalty shot goal from Auffrey, who went glove side on goalie David Shantz. The Everblades struck back on the power play with a goal from Brandon Roach from the point, after the Lynx had killed off a two and a half minute 5 on 3. The Lynx evened the score on a power play of their own as Bobby Bolt smashed home a back-door pass from #9 Louis Goulet and #16 Chase Watson to tie the game at 2-2 heading into the 3rd period.

The 3rd period was all Lynx as Ryan Dingle and Bobby Bolt scored on consecutive breakaways to make it 4-2. The team may have been inspired with Goulet's first fight of the year. Dingle's goal came on a great pass from #17 Jeremy Schenderling and Watson, and Bolt's was a turnover by the Everblades at their own blueline. The Lynx put the game on ice with a 2 on 1 goal from Matt Christie who tipped home a rebound drive from #10 Garrett Winder and help from #5 Ken Scuderi. The rest of the way out it was Bobby Goepfert's show as the goaltender made several stops throughout the game to keep the Lynx in it.
