FAYETTEVILLE, N.C.- The Fayetteville Marksmen, proud members of the Southern Professional Hockey League, defeated the Macon Mayhem 4-1 at the Crown Coliseum on Friday night.
The game started fast and furious in the first period with the Marksmen outshooting the Mayhem 15-6 in the opening frame.
F.X. Girard scored the opening goal 9:03 into the period off a rebound from the end boards. Girard's goal is his fifth of the season.
With under five minutes to go the Marksmen scored on back-to-back shots with Shane Bednard burying a puck from Bryan Moore and Taylor Best and then Tanner Froese scoring just moments later.
In the second period, the scoring train marched on with Alex Renaud notching a powerplay goal. Renaud would end the game with two points on his return trip from a callup to Jacksonville.
In the third period, Nigel Slade would break the shutout bid from Stefano Durante with a slapshot from the high slot. It's Slade's first goal of the season.
