ESTERO, Fla. – The Florida Everblades’ Carson Gicewicz scored three of the team’s five goals to power a 5-2 win over the Savannah Ghost Pirates on Saturday, March 27, Country Night at Hertz Arena.
Savannah’s Liam Walsh struck first in the opening period, setting the tone early, but Florida quickly responded with pressure of their own. The Everblades appeared to find the back of the net twice in the frame, though both goals were sent to review. After a lengthy look, one was overturned, but the second was confirmed, which stood as the equalizer from Sam Stange, assisted by Jett Jones, and sent the game into the first intermission tied.
Florida regained momentum in the second period, with an early goal from Gicewicz that finished off a play set up by Oliver Chau and Cole Moberg. Savannah evened things up again on a power play, with Riley Hughes firing off assists from Dennis Cesana and Cristophe Tellier. Sean Allen buried a goal from the blue line to give the Blades the lead, with the play developing from Reid Duke and Oliver Cooper to give Florida the lead heading into the third.
The Everblades added to their lead in the third period with another connection between Gicewicz and Chau, and Jones, continuing their strong chemistry from earlier in the game. Gicewicz later capped off a standout night by completing the hat trick, finishing a play set up by Gianfranco Cassaro to extend the Everblades’ advantage.
