How It Happened

Less than two minutes into the first the Buccaneers scored on Llewellyn's first of the night to make it 1-0 Maritime. Emerson proceeded to score five unanswered between 11:55 and 3:09 of the quarter to take a 5-1 lead that they took into the second. 

The Lions extended their rally to seven straight goals with scores from Beck and Selby at 14:09 and 12:39 of the second quarter. Down 7-1, the Buccaneers went on a run of their own, scoring three unanswered starting with Llewellyn's second at 10:38, followed by Albertson's first at 5:07 and Llewellyn's third with 14 second remaining in the half. At the break, the Lions led the Bucs 7-4.

The third quarter was a score fest with nine total goals. Emerson started it off with two from Longstreet and Beck. The Bucs followed that with two of their own from Durgin and Albertson to make it 9-6 halfway through the third. Emerson sprinkled in a goal from Danehy and then the Bucs scored three more in a row from Dickingson, Durgin and Llewellyn. Emerson added one more with 1:47 left in the third and though the Buccaneers were inching closer, the Lions led after three quarters of play, 11-9.

In the fourth, Maritime turned on the jets with four in a row finding the back of the net. Calvert scored two in a row at 10:42 and 8:49 to tie the game at 11-11.
