Columbus GA: The Columbus River Dragons and Delaware Thunder met for the third time this season Friday night. Columbus was looking to go for three straight wins and Delaware was looking to take a game on the road. Greg Harney got his first start for the Thunder and Bailey MacBurnie was between the pipes for the River Dragons. Columbus got off to a quick start peppering Harney with shots. Dalton Anderson scored the first goal of the night at the 5:39 mark of period one. Jack Riley and Jay Croop had the helpers. After the goal, we saw a quiet stretch of play with a plethora of whistles. Late in the first Columbus would strike for two goals in less than thirty seconds.
