Fawcett's marker came on a power play with Jacob Bauchman sending a pass from behind the net into the slot and the shot eluded Blades' netminder James Prigione. "Our line was going pretty well in overtime so I think (coach Greg Walters) wanted to play that hunch when we got the power play and thankfully it worked out," said the 18-year-old speedster from Barrie. "Great forechecking by my teammates made it happen and (Jacob) Bauchman hit me with a beautiful pass and I put it home. I'm just glad we won because it was a huge game in the series." Friday Oakville evened the series 1-1 with a 3-2 win. Neither club has held a twogoal lead or lost at home in the series thus far and game 4 is set for Oakville's Sixteen Mile Sports Complex Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. Game five will be played Wednesday at Alcott Arena at 7:30 p.m. Matt Chiarantano opened the scoring in the first period for Georgetown, but the Raiders needed a goal by defender Tyler MacPherson midway through the third frame in order to force overtime. Raiders' goalie Steven Racine made 39 saves to earn first-star honours, with Prigione blocking 33 shots in the loss in front of about 600 spectators. On Friday in Oakville a goal by the Blades' Tyler Karius with just 1:13 left in regulation time gave the host club s a 3-2 victory. The winning marker actually bounced in off the stick of Raider defender Nathan Domagala, but it was the second time in the contest that the visitors weren't picking up their checks late in the period that led to a goal against. Ryan Lopes and Braden Kavartzis had the Georgetown goals on soft shots that got past Prigione, who made 33 stops on the evening, while Raiders' Racine blocked 32 shots.
