Orlando Solar Bears News Release


JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Taylor Cammarata's second goal since joining the Orlando Solar Bears (15-16-5-1) was the lone score for the visitors, as Orlando dropped a 3-1 decision to the Jacksonville Icemen (13-20-4-0) on Saturday night at VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena. The loss brought an end to a 13-game winning streak against Jacksonville and was Orlando's first defeat at Jacksonville since Dec. 28, 2018.

Jacksonville opened the scoring at the 14-minute mark of the second period when Pierre-Luc Mercier capitalized on a shorthanded breakaway and beat Clint Windsor to put the Icemen ahead.

Shortly after Alexis D'Aoust scored 53 seconds into the third period to give the home team a 2-0 lead, Tristin Langan finessed the puck into the offensive zone and placed a shot into the pads of Adam Carlson, and Cammarata banged home the rebound at the 1:04 mark.

The Solar Bears tried for the remainder of the third period to even the score, outshooting the Icemen by an 11-6 margin. With Orlando on the power play and Clint Windsor pulled for a 6-on-4 man advantage in the final minutes of regulation, Jacksonville's Emerson Clark sealed the game with a shorthanded empty-netter.

Windsor took the loss with 21 saves on 23 shots against; Carlson picked up the win for Jacksonville by going 31-for-32.
