Solar Bears Den: Sweep in the Swamp

How best to describe how the Orlando Solar Bears fared in a pair of road contests against the Florida Everblades this weekend? Let’s use a Valentine’s pun of course.

After a week that saw a seesaw battle and the franchise record for home attendance, the Solar Bears carried that momentum south to Estero, taking both contests from the first-place Everblades—and staying within striking distance of both the final South playoff spot (7 points behind Atlanta and Greenville) and even first place (9 points behind Florida) in a very tight South Division.

Friday, 2/10: Orlando 3, Florida 2

Garret Sparks drew the starting assignment for the first game of the two-game set on Friday evening.
