Gargoyles Comeback to Tie Game In Third, but Fall to Norfolk 5-3

NORFOLK, VA – The Greensboro Gargoyles scored twice in the third period to tie the game, but let in two goals in the final five minutes as the Norfolk Admirals skated to a 5-3 win on Sunday afternoon in the Norfolk Scope Arena.

Gargoyles Captain Logan Nelson opened the scoring 13:28 into the first period, assisted by Deni Goure and Patrick Newell. Newell’s assist marked his seventh point of the three-game weekend.

The Admirals scored three times in the second period to take a 3-1 lead. Jack O’Leary scored at 5:49, then Brady Fleurent scored two more quickly at 6:07 and 7:52.

Nelson started the Gargoyles comeback effort with his second goal of the game at 9:07 in the third period. Tyler Weiss added another at 12:52 to tie the game 3-3. The Admirals would score two quick goals inside the final five minutes with O’Leary’s second of the game at 15:08, then Chase Yoder’s third goal of the weekend 1:26 later.

Goure finished the game with two assists, he had five points in Saturday and Sunday’s road games following his Saturday night hat trick. Noah Delmas assisted Weiss’s goal, now with 11 points in the last nine games, and points in seven of those. Dalton Skelly also added an assist, marking six points in the past six games.
