CLEVELAND, OH -The Checkers fell prey to the Monsters Sunday afternoon, dropping the contest by a 5-1 score.
The home team was all over the Checkers to start the game, lighting the lamp twice in the opening frame and putting Charlotte in a hole by the time the first intermission came around. Steven Lorentz gave the visitors some life early in the second when he cut that lead in half, swooping up the left side and depositing the rebound from his own shot into the top shelf, but Cleveland fought back.
The Monsters jumped on a shorthanded breakaway opportunity later in that frame to push their lead back to two, then broke things open in the third. Cleveland scored back-to-back goals less than two minutes apart within the first seven minutes of the third and that would be more than enough to secure the home side a lopsided victory.
