Columbus River Dragons News Release

ATHENS, GA - The Athens Rock Lobsters built a three-goal lead and held on for a 5-3-win Friday night in Game Two of the Continental Division Semifinal series to force a deciding Game Three Saturday night.

Columbus didn't get on the scoreboard until 15:02 of the second period when Alex Storjohann netted his third goal of the postseason, a power play goal from Justin MacDonald and Kirk Underwood.

Trailing 4-1 in the third, Connor Lind scored on a beautiful individual effort, deking out William Lavalliere (29 saves) and beating him high to the glove side to close the gap to two goals.

After the River Dragons fell behind 5-2 at 16:04 on a goal by Andrew Stefura, Justin MacDonald once again gave Columbus hope 34 seconds later on a feed from Ryan Hunter.

Despite pulling Trevor Babin (37 saves) for the extra attacker Columbus could not close the gap.

With the win, Athens forces a third and deciding game Saturday at 7:05 pm. Pregame coverage starts on the River Dragons YouTube page 15 minutes prior to puck drop @ColumbusRiverDragons.
