What was Coach O'Connor's main concern entering the game yesterday, that of coming out flat after a long layoff, came true in the Flames first game in the series with the Charlotte Lady Eagles. Giving up 2 goals early in the first half left the VSI Tampa Flames chasing the game for the rest of the match, a game that was 0 - 3 at the half, and finishing 1- 4 when the final whistle blew.
