Wings Drop Season Finale to Titans 11-5
Friday, April 23, 2010
, PA – The
Philadelphia Wings (5-11) dropped their season
finale to the Orlando Titans (10-5) by the score of 11-5 at the Wachovia Center Saturday night. Defense and
goaltending won out in the first half, but it was Orlando who was able to get
their offense going behind star forward Casey Powell who had four second half
points (3G, 1A).
Each team was able to
score three first half goals and neither had a standout offensive star, due in
large part to the outstanding goaltending in the first two quarters.
Philadelphia’s
Brandon Miller stopped 27 of 30 shots through two quarters for a .900 save
percentage. Orlando’s Kurtis Wagar matched Miller each step
of the way shutting down the Wings by stopping 21 of the 24 shots he faced for a
.875 save percentage.
The second half belonged
to the Titans. Powell opened the third quarter scoring and went on to add
two more goals in the period. Wagar shutout Philadelphia in the period, stopping all nine
shots he faced. The fourth quarter began with two more Titans goals to
extend their lead to six. The Wings Drew Westervelt ended the team’s long
scoring drought with just over four minutes to play in the game, but Orlando fired back with two scores of their own to finish
the game and hand Philadelphia the 11-5
loss.
