Just when it appeared the Richmond Renegades were going to end their long road trip on a successful note, disaster struck last night. Fayetteville scored twice in a span of 1:09 late in the third period to come from behind and beat the Renegades 5-4 in Fayetteville, N.C. A three-goal uprising in the second period had given Richmond a 4-3 lead entering in the final 20 minutes, and goaltender Ryan Scott (41 saves) preserved it for most of the period.

There was a blissful atmosphere at the Coliseum on Valentine’s Day, in part because of a wedding on the ice about 45 minutes before faceoff. But there was no love lost between the Fayetteville FireAntz and Richmond Renegades when the puck was dropped before a crowd of 3,559. In a chippy affair, the Renegades got a pair of goals from Ryan Busby and three assists from defenseman Cody Cole to knock off the FireAntz 5-2 for their fifth straight victory.

Welcome back Dan Vandermeer. Good to have you on the ice again, too, Dennis Sicard. Oh, yeah. It’s always nice to pencil you into the lineup, Ryan Busby.

Virginia Union scored a win in its first home game of the season—the same night it named its home floor after retired coach Dave Robbins.

Scoring early and often, the Richmond Rengades scored the first two goals and enjoyed it so much, they didn’t stop until they had finished off a 10-4 victory over Fayetteville.
