Solar Bears defeat Gladiators, 7-3

Trevor Olson led the way with a career-high four points and the Orlando Solar Bears (15-15-4-1) scored a season-high four goals in the first period on their way to a 7-3 victory over the Atlanta Gladiators (16-20-0-0) on Wednesday night at Infinite Energy Arena. Olson assisted on Kevin Lohan’s eventual game-winner at 15:57 of the first period to make it 4-0, then continued Orlando’s offensive explosion with his eighth of the season at 2:42 of the second period. After the Gladiators scored twice to chip away at Orlando’s lead, Olson assisted on Peter Abbandonato’s goal at the 13:46 mark, then buried his second of the evening at 11:55 of the third period when his shot at the right circle handcuffed relief goaltender Ben Halford. Olson’s two goals and two assists surpassed his previous career-high of three points, which last occurred on Feb. 27, 2019 vs. Florida.
