Windsor shines in 1-0 win over Icemen

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Clint Windsor made 27 saves for his first professional shutout and Johno May scored the lone goal as the Orlando Solar Bears (10-10-4-1) held off the Jacksonville Icemen (8-11-4-0) for a 1-0 victory on Saturday night at VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena.

Box Score

The Solar Bears and Icemen traded shots in the first period, with Orlando outshooting Jacksonville by a 9-8 margin, but Clint Windsor and Adam Carlson did not surrender a goal for their respective clubs.

A delay of game penalty assessed to Carlson at the end of the opening frame placed the Solar Bears on the power play in the second period, and Orlando capitalized on the man advantage as Johno May knocked in his first goal with the Solar Bears at the 1:01 mark.

Windsor turned aside all 27 shots he faced in the second and third periods to secure his third win of the season; Carlson took the loss with 26 stops on 27 shots against
