PEORIA, Ill. (WMBD/WYZZ) — The Rivermen are a win away from another SPHL title.
Michael McChesney scored twice and Nick Latinovich stopped 23 shots and as the Rivermen beat Evansville, 5-1, in game two of the President’s Cup Final at Carver Arena on Friday. Peoria leads the best-of-five series, 2-0.
The Rivermen are a win away from clinching their third SPHL title in five years. Game 3 of the series is Wednesday in Evansville.
Garrett Devine scored 20 seconds into the game to get the Rivermen offense going. McChesney’s first goal came at 2:45 of the second period and broke a 1-1 tie. He closed the scoring with an empty net goal with 22 seconds remaining in the game.
Latinovich and the Rivermen defense have allowed just two goals in the series.
Braydon Barker’s second-period goal off a nifty assist from Connor Szmul gave Peoria a 3-1 lead after two periods. Kylar Fenton scored the first of Peoria’s two empty-net goals at 18:03 of the third period with McChesney’s coming about 100 seconds later.
