Orlando Solar Bears News Release
ESTERO, Fla. - A late third-period goal from Matthew Spencer was not enough to spark a rally from a 3-0 deficit as the Orlando Solar Bears (9-7-1-0) saw their three-game win streak snapped in a 4-1 loss to the Florida Everblades (13-5-0-1) on Saturday night at Hertz Arena.
Hugo Roy scored on a delayed penalty to put Orlando in a 1-0 hole at 4:12 of the second period, and Luke Nogard (8:36) and John McCarron (19:15) added goals in the frame to extend Florida's lead to three.
Spencer spoiled Devin Cooley's shutout bid with his first of the season at 18:22 with Michael Lackey pulled for an extra skater, but Joe Pendenza sealed the game in the final seconds of regulation with an empty-net tally.
Lackey went 26-for-29 in the loss, while Cooley earned the win for Florida with a 30-for-31 performance.
NOTABLES:
Aaron Luchuk led Orlando with five shots on goal and assisted on Spencer's tally
Kevin Lohan played in his 100th game with the Solar Bears, becoming the eighth blueliner in team history to reach the century mark for games

1) Devin Cooley - FLA
2) Hugo Roy - FLA
