Second Period Surge Secures Marksmen Victory

MACON, GA - Fayetteville would get a full week rest between games, and have the benefit of just a one game weekend as they traveled down to the Mayhem.

The night would start off successfully for the third-place Marksmen, as leading-scorer Brian Bowen would do Brian Bowen things - score goals. He struck for his eighth of the season with 17:32 to go in the first period, but the momentum would not continue in the period for Fayetteville. Danny Cesarz and Daniel Perez would take advantage of a high-shooting period, and find paydirt twice to give the Mayhem a lead heading to the first intermission, outshooting the Marksmen 12-10.

Period two was where the Marksmen would separate from the pack. After a slow first half of the period, Brian Bowen would snipe a puck top shelf to knot the game up - his ninth of the year. This would open the floodgates, as Max Cook and Don Olivieri would find goals in the following minute and a half. Suddenly, Fayetteville would find themselves ahead in the game 4-2, despite their 0/5 mark on the man-advantage. The score would hold to the end of the second period, with Fayetteville outshooting the Mayhem 12-4.

In a mad-dash third period, with plenty of chippy play, the Mayhem would strike early from Cesarz once again. 18:46 would remain in the game as the Mayhem would finish 2/3 on the power play, but this would be as close as the team would come to comeback. A strong continued press from the Marksmen offense and from goaltender Blake Wojtala would give the Marksmen just enough to take their sixth win on the road of the season, 4-3 over Macon.

The Marksmen return home to take on the defending President's Cup champion Huntsville Havoc in an exciting two game series. More details on that can be found below.
