SUPER Slovak sniper Ondrej Lauko went back to top of the EPL goal scoring charts after netting four times in the Basingstoke Bison’s 8-2 victory over the Romford Raiders on Saturday night.
The home side welcomed back Kurt Reynolds and Chris Wiggins for the contest and took control of the game with three goals in four first period minutes.
Tony Redmond with his first of the season opened the scoring followed by strikes from Joe Ciccarello and Lauko.
Romford pulled a goal back from their man-of-the-match Mikko Silvennoinen as it finished 3-1 at the first buzzer.
The second session saw Bison man-of-the-match Lauko score with a clinical strike only for Raiders Dean Tonks to make it 4-2.
However, that was the last time Davey Lawrence was beaten on the night and by the time the second hooter sounded, a classic shorthanded breakaway strike from Ciccarello and Lauko’s hat-trick marker had extended the Herd’s lead to four.
The last 20 minutes saw two further goals as Jamie Line and Lauko’s fourth on the powerplay, completed the scoring.
