ESTERO, Fla. – The Florida Everblades were unable to come back after surrendering a late second period goal, ultimately losing 4-3 to the South Carolina Stingrays Friday night.

The loss snapped the Everblades’ winning streak at four games.
 
Cole Moberg opened up the scoring with a great net front drive, set up on the back door by Tiernan Shoudy for the strike. South Carolina found a response minutes later as Alex Gaffney slipped a five-hole goal through Cam Johnson to tie the game on a breakaway. Florida outshot the Stingrays 11-6 in the first.
 
A wild second period started with Jalen Lupyen breaking the tie after a Stingrays power play expired. After that, the Blades put on a big push and were rewarded with goals 1:36 apart from each other. First, Dalton Duhart scored his first with the Everblades to tie the game, then Jesse Lansdell redirected in a beautiful pass to take back the lead for Florida. Devon Paliani assisted on both goals.
 
The Stingrays got right back after, with a beautiful tip by Patrick Thomas tying the game before Zack Andrusiak retaking the lead for South Carolina with just 27 seconds left in the second period.
South Carolina outshot Florida 13-8 in the middle frame.

Florida pushed hard in the third period, outshooting the Stingrays 9-5 and hitting a post late, but were unable to tie the game as the Stingrays. The Everblades led the shot count 28-24 in the game, and both teams went 0/3 on the power play.

The Everblades face the Stingrays again on Saturday, November 14 at 7:00 p.m.. The Blades’ next four games will be played on Hertz Arena ice. Visit floridaeverblades.com for more information and to purchase tickets.
