Condors go down shooting, fall to Reign 4-2
BAKERSFIELD, Calif.- The Bakersfield Condors (26-24-2-1, 55pts) the Ontario Reign (19-30-2-3, 43pts) in front of 4,028 fans at Rabobank Arena Sunday evening.
The Reign notched the only goal of the opening stanza when C 
Aaron Lewadniuk found himself wide open in the low slot and ripped a one-timer over the shoulder of G Josh Tordjman to give Ontario a 1-0 lead at the first intermission.
The offense opened up in the second period, as LW Guillaume Lefebvre picked the top corner at 2:01 of the second to tie the game at 1-1. Ontario regained the lead on a goal by D Shawn Germain at 10:17, but the Condors eliminated the deficit 1:18 later as F Michael Gergen slammed home a shot on a scramble in front of the net, tying the game at 2-2. Ontario struck twice more before the end of the frame with goals from D David Walker and RW Chaz Johnson as they lead 4-2 after two.
Fatigued legs and goaltending prevailed in the third, as neither team was able to crack the scoresheet. The Condors outshot the Reign 14-1 in the third and 51-24 overall.
