ICECATS COMPLETE WEEKEND SWEEP OF BLUE RIDGE

The Pee Dee IceCats rode a five-goal second period outburst to a 6-3 win over the Blue Ridge Bobcats on Saturday night to sweep the weekend series.

Trailing 1-0 after the first period, Patricks Marcinkevics started the scoring barrage just 1:18 into the second period, his first of two on the night from brother Dominicks. Nine minutes and thirty-six seconds later four more pucks found the net behind Blue Ridge starter Anthony Shrum off the sticks of Trevor Lord (twice), Patricks Marcinkevics again, and  Dominicks Marcinkevics for a 5-1 lead.

The Bobcats did not go quietly, responding with two goals in 13 seconds before the end of the period to make it 5-3 at the break.

Houston Wilson added an insurance marker in the third period to cap the 6-3 win and give Pee Dee it's fifth win of the season.
