PORT ALBERNI — Scoring first has been a curse in the Clippers playoff series with the Bulldogs.
In Game 4 Nanaimo scored the opening goal for the first time but suffered their first loss 5-2.
Landon Pappas gave the Clippers a first period lead which held up until late in the middle frame when Grady Magner evened the score on an Alberni Valley man advantage.
Hayden Fechner gave Nanaimo the lead back with a wicked shot early in the third, only to have the Bulldogs reel off four straight goals to win.
