How It Happened

In the second half of a very physical game between the Buccaneers and Blazers that saw five yellow cards for Elms and one for Maritime, neither team could find the back of the net for the first 35 minutes of the half. Then, in the 80th minute, Calvert scored his second goal of the season to add some insurance to the Bucs 2-0 victory.
