(photo/ Scott Nixon) By Pat Bolen TIMES -ADVOCATE STAFF LUCAN — The Lucan Ilderton Jets came up just short in their first play- off game, with a hard fought 3-2 loss against defending champion Durham Feb. 4 in Lucan. The Jets opened the scoring early in the first period on an end-to-end effort by Shaun Fairweather but Durham replied with a pair of goals before the period was over for a 2-1 lead. Matt Munro tied it in the second period, but with time winding down in the third period the Jets got caught on a line change and Durham took advantage. Picking up a loose puck, Durham's Rob LeBlanc stepped across the blueline and fired a "rocket of a shot," according to Jets general manager Rob Andrews, that Jets goalie Dave Riddell didn't have a chance to move on. Andrews said the Jets did every- thing they could, "but just didn't get any breaks...we knew going into this series we were going to have our hands full. They are still the defend- ing champions until somebody beats them." The series will resume in Durham Friday night at 8:30 p.m. with game four in Lucan Feb. 12 at 8:30 p.m.
