RIVER DRAGONS CLINCH LEAGUE TITLE WITH WIN OVER BOBCATS

 COLUMBUS, GA - The Columbus River Dragons wrapped up both the Continental Division and FPHL Regular Season titles Friday night with a 5-2 win over the Blue Ridge Bobcats.

The River Dragons jumped out to a 2-0 first period lead with goals from Justin MacDonald and Austin Daae in the first 2:47 of the game. Sequoia Swan and Josh Pietrantonio also scored while MacDonald added his second of the game into an empty net to cement the win.

William Lavalliere earned the win with 26 saves, including a glove save while sprawled on his back late in the third period to keep the lead at 4-2 with Blue Ridge pressing with the extra skater.
