FRYEBURG — It was another nail-biter for the Fryeburg Academy/Lake Region/Oxford Hills hockey team, but this time the Ice Cats (12-7) came up just short, falling 3-2 to No. 3 South Portland (13-6-1) in the Class A quarterfinals at the Troubh Arena (the old Portland Ice Arena) on Friday night.

The game, played less than 48 hours after the Ice Cats needed four overtimes to beat No. 11 Marshwood/Traip/Sanford/Noble 4-3 for their first career playoff win at Chalmers Ice Arena in Bridgton before a record crowd, was packed with end-to-end action and Coach Wayne Neiman’s troops were not in awe of the moment.
