Manatees' win streak snapped

From Herald Staff and Wire Reports The Miami Manatees' seven-game winning streak came to an end Friday night in a 7-2 loss to the host Macon Trax. The Trax (14-13-5) scored three goals with the 15:07 left in the first period. The Manatees' defense struggled, allowing Macon to fire numerous shots at goaltender Sean Weaver. Ryan Rivard scored twice right in front of the net, and David Deeves added another goal near the crease. Manatees coach Zac Boyer was ejected for throwing a stick on the ice after arguing with the officials. Boyer's ejection came with 2:32 left in the first period. Manatees defenseman Tom Perry also was injured late in the first period. After Deeves added a second goal in the second period, the Manatees' Darcy Johnson got Miami on the board with a power-play goal at 8:44. What momentum the Manatees created was halted in the third period, when Deeves stole the puck from Steve Howard. Deeves went in alone and scored a short-handed goal -- his third of the game -- on Weaver to put the Trax up 5-1. Deeves added another breakaway goal later in the period. Miami's Tom Kotsopoulos scored the final goal. Macon's Andy Kollar made 25 saves in his fifth win of the season, while Weaver allowed seven goals on 26 shots in the loss.
