Seals fall to Swarm at Pechanga Arena

The Seals fell to the Georga Swarm, 11-8, on Saturday night at Pechanga Arena.

Down 8-5 going into the fourth, the Seals managed to climb within a goal at 8-7 after Ben McIntosh’s goal with 9:32 remaining, but that was as close as the Seals would get as Georgia scored twice in a 2:45 stretch to jump back ahead 10-7. Ryan Benesch, who scored a game-high four goals, scored his fourth on a power play with 5:12 left in the fourth to make it a two-goal game, which it remained until Georgia added an empty netter with 47 seconds left as they closed out the win.

With the loss, the Seals now sit at 2-2. They will return to Pechanga Arena on Jan. 4 to face the Ottawa Black Bears at 7 p.m. PT.
