Dean
Lahan led the scoring with 3+2, Karl Nicholson scored twice and Emily McLean, Anton
Tomlinson, Mark Colquitt and Peggy Assinck all got a goal each.
Peterborough
put in another battling performance but couldn’t get past the Mayhem defence
and netminder Dan Hartshorn was able to record a 7-shot shut out – his second
clean sheet of the season.
The
result means that the league table finishes with a fascinating three-way tie
for second place with Sheffield Steelkings B team (the Stings) the Mayhem and
Cardiff Huskies all level on 8 points each.
Under
league regulations, teams that finish level on points are separated in the
league standings by head to head results in matches between them. With three teams involved, it becomes more
complicated but, in the current situation, the Stings finish up as league
runners up – 8 points behind league champions Sheffield Steelkings A – as they
have superior playing records against both the Mayhem and the Huskies.
