Athens Clinch 2nd Place In Division

Columbus Takes Game One vs. Rock Lobsters

COLUMBUS, GA - The Athens Rock Lobsters fell 3-1 to the Columbus River Dragons on Friday night in the Columbus Civic Center. 

Kyle Moore opened the scoring on the power play with a clever more on the short side to flip one past William Lavalliere with six minutes to go in the first.

Moore would double his tally in the second period with a hard centering pass that would deflect off a Rock Lobster stick and in.

Athens got into the game with a Kayson Gallant power-play goal to increase his lead atop both the FPHL goal and power-play goal leaderboards.

Jestin Somero would bury the game with an empty-net goal with less than a minute remaining in regulation. 

With the contest between the Carolina Thunderbirds and the Monroe Moccasins being won by Carolina tonight, the Rock Lobsters have cemented their 2nd-place spot in the Continental division.
